Multifactor Authentication (MFA) adds a layer of security to your district account by requiring more than one factor of authentication before access is granted.
MFA helps protect you, your account, and the information connected to it. It makes it much harder for someone else to sign in as you, even if they know your password.
This is not meant to create inconvenience. It is an important security step, and we are continuing to move toward stronger, more phishing-resistant standards that help make sign-in both secure and easy.
San Diego Unified School District has partnered with Duo Security to provide MFA services for district user accounts.
Why do we need MFA?
Over 90% of breaches today involve compromised usernames and passwords.
MFA enhances the security of your account by using an additional factor to verify your identity. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your account, even if someone knows your password.
Who is required to use MFA?
All district employees and POI accounts are required to use MFA to protect their user account.
What district applications require MFA at login?
All district applications require MFA at login for staff and POI users.
