Multi Factor Authentication - Android Set up instructions
Purpose:
The purpose of this article is to guide staff through setting up your Muliti Factor Authentication for an Android device.
Multi-Factor Authentication is the second step to verify your identity when you sign into CECG ICT Provided Systems and Services. It prevents anyone, besides you from gaining access to your account, even if your password is stolen. It's easier than you think for someone to steal your password. Things that can put you at risk of having your password stolen are:
- Using the same password for other sites or services.
- People watching you type it in.
- Sharing your password with others.
- Downloading malicious software and content.
- Clicking on bad links in email messages.
Using a strong password in conjunction with Multi-Factor Authentication prevents malicious access to your account and personal information and protects CECG data.
What you need:
- Have access to a device with an internet connection.
- Your Catholic Education username.
- Your Catholic Education Password.
- Mobile phone.
- Ability to receive an SMS to the phone number registered with payroll.
