Multi Factor Authentication Setup

All AMDA Staff are required to setup two factor authentication to access any Office 365 services including Email, SharePoint, WebEx, Broadway Wi-Fi, Canvas and Zoom.
We recommend using the Microsoft Authenticator application for iOS and Android. You may also use SMS 2FA but we do not recommend this method.
