Multifactor authentication (MFA) enhances the security of the ORU community by adding an additional layer of verification to your login process beyond just a username and password. MFA is mandatory for all ORU students and staff, ensuring a safer online environment.

 


MFA Tips to Consider

  • Getting a new phone? Disconnect the Microsoft Authenticator app BEFORE swapping over devices.
