From Monday 10th July, you will need to set up Multi-Factor Authentication on your LSBU IT account. MFA is a two-step verification method for your online accounts, using your mobile phone or tablet for Microsoft to verify your identity. Once this is set up, it is easy to use and is more secure than just your username and password.
To set up MFA, you will need a computer and an IOS or Android device. If you experience any issues setting up your MFA, please get in touch.
