Office 365 Multi factor Authentication

Logging in to your email, OneDrive etc is going to become more secure.

Starting from the evening of Thursday, 17 December, all students will be required to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) when accessing Microsoft 365 services (such as StudentMail and OneDrive). You will be prompted to use MFA when not on the university network. MFA helps to secure your identity and to protect your account.

An email has been sent out with instructions for how to set up MFA however the link in the email to set up MFA is broken. The correct link to use is https://aka.ms/mfasetup.

If you have any questions or need assistance please contact us via messenger, email student.it@otago.ac.nz or call us at 03 479 5170
