6. For security, you will need to set up your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This is a code that needs to be entered in addition to your password.
   
   There are 3 ways to set up your MFA:

   1. Microsoft Authenticator (a mobile app that can be downloaded to your smartphone)
      For iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.):

      Open

      

      For Android (Samsung, LG, etc.):

      Open

      

   2. Text and/or Phone Call

      1. Enter your phone number in the “Enter phone number” field, and select the option of either receiving a code through text message or, receiving a phone call.
         
         Click “Next” when ready.

         Open

         

         
         Check the phone number you entered on the previous page, and enter the code that you received in the “Enter code” field.
         
         Click “Next” when complete.

         Open

         

          

   3. Other authenticator apps such as Google Authenticate or a key fob
      (If you do not have access to a phone, you may be eligible to request a key fob to receive your MFA code. More information will be available soon.)
      
      

      Note: If you want to use option b or c, click on “I want to setup a different method”.
      
      

7. When successful, you should get a message informing you that your authentication method has been setup.

   Open

   

    

8. You will now be prompted to change your password to a different password from the temporary. Please note that it must be more than 10 characters, not be a previously used password, or contain words commonly used in many passwords, or the names of the SDCCD colleges.
