About Microsoft 2FA
Microsoft 2FA is currently enabled for Syracuse University all Faculty and Staff as well as Students who have opted-in who are , Staff, and Students accessing Office 365 applications accessed or downloaded through https://portal.microsoft.com. 2FA is an added verification step during authentication that helps to prevent the unauthorized use of University NetIDs and passwords by ensuring that only the account owners themselves use their credentials on systems hardened with 2FA, in this case, Office 365. Typically, 2FA is described as “something you know and something you have” where the “something you know” is your username and password, and the “something you have” (often called a “second factor”) is a private, unique code generated just for you.
Additional information about two-factor authentication can be found on the Two-Factor Authentication home page.
