To help make your Royal Holloway account safer, more secure and easier to manage, the College is now introducing multi-factor authentication (MFA). You may already use MFA outside of your studies for online accounts such as banking or your personal email address. Having it adds an extra layer of protection, keeps your information safer, and also means the College is better protected against cyber threats.
From 13 June, you will be prompted to self-register for multi-factor authentication. If you don’t self-register, MFA will be automatically introduced for everyone on the 27 June. From this point, MFA will be essential for you to login to your account.
You should have already received a couple of emails about this roll out from the IT team, but in case you have not seen them, please read the message sent out by IT about MFA.
