Multi-Factor Authentication
Important information about protecting students’ school email accounts
As part of our commitment to digital security, we will enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for High School students who use the school’s Microsoft 365 tools.
Within the school network, students will be able to access their academic resources as usual, without requiring additional verification. When accessing these resources from outside the school, however, students will be required to complete a second verification step through the Authenticator app, which they will need to download and install on a second device to protect their account and the academic information associated with it.
Multi-Factor Authentication is a widely used security practice among organizations and digital services such as Microsoft, Amazon, online banking services, and entertainment platforms. Its purpose is to ensure that only the authorized user can access their account.
In addition to strengthening security, this initiative is part of our educational approach for promoting the responsible use of technology and the development of good digital citizenship practices.
To learn more about what Multi-Factor Authentication is and why it is important, we invite you to consult Microsoft’s official guide:
Microsoft Security: What is Multi-Factor Authentication?
Thank you for your support in helping us build a safe digital environment for our entire educational community.
