Keeping your account secure is important for your own online safety and the safety of the UVic community. This makes it much harder for someone else to gain access to your account. When you use MFA, you’ll sign in to your account using your passphrase, then confirm that it’s you using a personal device like a phone. MFA adds an extra layer of security to your account by adding an extra step into your sign in process.
This type of security is also called two-factor authentication (2FA) or two-step verification.
The best way to keep your UVic account secure is to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA).
