Set up Multi-factor Authenticator (MFA) for your AU Email

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that requires you to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as your AU email address. The main benefit of MFA is it will enhance AU's security by requiring you to identify yourself by more than a username and password. While important, usernames and passwords are vulnerable to cyber attacks and can be stolen by third parties. Enforcing the use of MFA means increased confidence that AU will stay safe from cyber criminals.

To set up MFA for your AU email, please follow the below steps:

1. Edit your information.
2. Install the Authenticator App on your smartphone.
3. Set up the Authenticator App.
4. Sign in to your AU email address using MFA.
5. Select your prefered MFA method (optional).
