Multi-factor authentication (MFA) of digital identity

For Students Last updated: 16. 04. 2026

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now essential for the secure use of online services. MFA is a security mechanism that requires more than one method of identity verification when accessing accounts and systems. Authentication factors can be something you know (password), something you have (security key), or something you are (biometric data). Since traditional authentication methods such as using passwords alone are becoming less reliable, MFA provides businesses and users with additional protection against breaches and unauthorised access.

Instructions on how to set up MFA for your Alma Mater digital identity can be found HERE.
