[Cnqo] Multi-factor authentication for Physics staff and PGR students

[Timothy Briggs]

Hello,

As part of the University rollout of multi-factor authentication, please try the following to setup MFA for your Strathclyde user account:


*                      Download the Microsoft authenticator app to your mobile

*                      Visit https://aka.ms/mfasetup and sign in with your @strath.ac.uk email

*                      Scan the QR Code with Authenticator to link your account and phone

*                      Add your mobile number as a second, 'phone' method of authentication (so the setup screen looks something like the attached screenshot)

*                      Makes sure you have a PIN code or some access protection to your phone/Authenticator app

*                      Setup a personal MS account to backup the Authenticator app settings to the cloud, in case you're phone is replaced/broken. The personal MS account to use for backup is entered in the Authenticator App's Settings | Cloud Backup.

Once you've set this up let the IT team know, and we can add you to the PHYS-MFA-EnabledUsers group to start the authentication checks once a month off-campus.

Any issues, we can work them out via email or when we're on campus.

I know some of you have already set this up - many thanks for doing so.

Thanks,

Timothy
