Microsoft Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

The new Microsoft Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is different from Duo, but its purpose and functionality remain the same. MFA is an extra layer of protection that makes it more difficult for someone else to log into your Penn State Account. By using MFA, you help protect your personal information, as well as sensitive and confidential Penn State resources and data.
