Multi-Factor Authentication Configuration Instructions

This instruction sheet will guide you in setting up Multi-factor Authentication for your OCCC account. The use of Multi-factor Authentication requires a user to successfully provide evidence to an authentication mechanism. This combination of evidence, or factors, may require information from something the user and only the user knows (PIN), something the user and only the user has (smartphone), or something the user and only the user is (biometrics). Each factor of authentication adds an additional level of security to protected assets.
