MFA will be automatically applied to all users using the University of Eastern Finland's Microsoft 365 environment.
Deployment of Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the University of Eastern Finland users has been done and in the future MFA will be automatically applied to all users using the university's Microsoft 365 environment.
The deployment concerns both student and staff users. MFA will be also deployed for outside stakeholders accounts. The employees should take note of the deployment of MFA if non UEF users are invited to the university's Microsoft 365 groups with other than the university's email address.
If you still haven't registered MFA it will be automatically applied to your account on 1.11.2022.
Instructions on how to register MFA can be found on IT Services webpage.
We recommend using an authenticator app for MFA confirmation. If you have a smart phone, using Microsoft Authenticator to authenticate the login is more safe and user friendly option than a text message. You can find instructions for Authetincator at uef.fi/tipa.
You can modify your MFA settings if needed here: https://aka.ms/mfasetup.
