MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION

 

Use Multifactor Authentication Whenever Possible!

MFA adds extra security to your Parkland account by requiring a second form of verification, like a mobile app or hardware token. Even if someone knows your password, MFA prevents unauthorized access. Parkland College utilizes Okta's MFA solution.

How to enable MFA:

  1. Go to your account's settings 
  2. Find and enable MFA: It may be called two-factor authentication, two-step authentication or similar.
  3. Choose a method, such as:
    1. A code via text or email
    2. An authenticator app (e.g., Okta Verify)
    3. Biometrics (facial recognition or fingerprint)
