Multifactor authentication (MFA) allows you to protect your account with more than a password. Once your account is enrolled in multifactor authentication, you will be prompted for a second action in addition to your password. This action could be accepting a notification on your phone (Duo Push), entering a 6-digit time-based code, entering a single-use bypass code, or pushing the button on a YubiKey hardware key. This second factor will be required when connecting to many of our services. Note that while we are deploying this, not all of our services may support it, but our goal is to protect most of our services with multifactor authentication in the near future. | Multifactor authentication (MFA) allows you to protect your account with more than a password.
