Activating Required Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an additional security method that protects and helps prevent unauthorized access to your account. To learn more on how an admissions user sets up MFA, visit Managing Your Account.

You can require all users, including admissions users, advisors, and institution users, for your CAS and all cycles to set up MFA for their accounts. To activate:

1. Click Security under the Administration panel.
2. Click the Deadline field and select a date when users must set up MFA for their WebAdMIT account.
3. Click Submit.

Note the following behaviors around required MFA:

• Users will receive a notification when they log in that they need to set up MFA by the deadline date. They can click Skip for now to bypass this requirement until the deadline date when they must set up MFA before they can use WebAdMIT.
• New users to your CAS will have three days to set up MFA for their account.
• If you require MFA, users cannot disable it under their account.
• If a program, organization, or CAS requires users to use Single Sign On (SSO) to log in to WebAdMIT, your users do not need to set up MFA.
