Second Factor Setup

Overview

ITS has implemented security measures to protect your personal information, intellectual property, and University data. MFA protects you even if your LUC password becomes compromised. When you sign in, you use your LUC UVID and password plus a second step in the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone.

Loyola recommends setting up both of these:

1. Microsoft Authenticator app — approve sign-in requests or use one-time codes.
2. Passkey in Microsoft Authenticator — sign in with your face, fingerprint, or PIN. Passkeys cannot be phished.

Benefits

Using MFA will decrease the probability that a hacker can impersonate you to gain access to computers, accounts, and other online resources.

Getting Started with MFA

• See MFA: Getting Started for an overview of the setup process.
• See MFA: Detailed Instructions for step-by-step instructions with screenshots for iPhone and Android.
• Once Microsoft Authenticator is set up, add a passkey as well. Both live in the Authenticator app on your phone, so if you replace your phone you will need to set both up again.
