Carolina University has implemented an MFA requirement for all users at MyCU. CU users can feel more confident about the security of their information and the steady improvements of securing peripheral services associated with their CU credentials. Some users may experience initial challenges with getting used to an MFA requirement but will undoubtedly become fast learners.
In case you would like to modify an authentication method or add additional login verification methods, you may do so at https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info following a successful login. Once there, users may wish to add an alternate email, Microsoft Authenticator, or a YubiKey and set those as default methods in order to lessen the number of texts sent to a mobile device. Users may also set a phone call for authentication. In short, there are a number of ways that users can implement MFA in their unique environment.
