Microsoft multi-factor authentication coming to students April 8, with 14 days to register

Woman working on a computer.

To enhance the security of CU Boulder accounts, the Office of Information Technology is enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect Microsoft Office 365 applications. Starting April 8, all CU Boulder students will be enrolled in MFA and given 14 days to register. Details about how to register and get help will be emailed to students and are also included below.

One of the most common ways cybercriminals attack our campus is through collaboration services like Office 365. MFA helps protect you by adding an additional layer of security, making it harder for attackers to log in as if they were you. Your information is safer with MFA because thieves would need to steal both your password and your phone. MFA has been shown to block 99.9% of compromised-credential attacks, which in turn will help to safeguard the university’s data, finances and reputation.

If you have questions about multi-factor authentication, please check out the Multi-Factor Authentication FAQs or contact the IT Service Center at oithelp@colorado.edu or 303-735-4357.
