Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA is a security measure that enhances the protection of your university accounts by requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access.
This additional layer of security ensures that even if your password is compromised, unauthorized users will not be able to access your account without the second form of verification.
At WSU, MFA is an essential part of safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of our digital resources.
The following MFA security methods are available for use at WSU:
Okta Verify: Approve a push notification via this mobile app
Okta Verify for Windows or macOS (FastPass): Approve a notification via this desktop app
Google Authenticator: View a time-based one-time passcode via this mobile app
Security Key: Insert a physical, specialized key into the device to authenticate
Biometric Authenticator: Authenticate via fingerprint or facial recognition
Please see the Account Help section of the WSU Knowledge Base for information regarding setting up or troubleshooting security methods.
