Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires users to enter multiple sources of authentication before granting access to an account. HCPSS staff can opt in to using MFA to protect their Microsoft Office 365 account, which includes apps such as email, Teams, Skype for Business, OneDrive and others. Other HCPSS applications are already protected by Enhanced Security.
To further bring awareness to staff members’ ability to opt-in to using MFA, staff will now see the below warning message when logging into Microsoft Office 365 if they are not enrolled.
Warning: Your account is not protected. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires users to enter multiple sources of authentication before granting access to an account. Please consider enrolling in MFA to protect your account.
Under the warning message are links for both “Enroll in MFA” and “Continue sign in.” Staff who wish to opt in to this security feature should select Enroll in MFA.
