Microsoft Authenticator is the most secure method for the second factor of authentication when accessing your accounts at the college. It’s also the most versatile method. For these reasons, it is the IT Department’s recommended method for MFA.
While Microsoft Authenticator works best when your device has an internet connection, either via Wi-Fi or a cellular connection, it also works when your device has no connection. This is useful in locations where cellular service and Wi-Fi are not available.
If you’re concerned about the privacy of your device, rest assured. Microsoft Authenticator only provides the model of your device and the version of the device’s operating system to our system administrators. It does not allow IT to see any apps you have installed or any of your personal data.
