Multi-Factor Authentication Now Enforced

Beginning Wednesday, September 14, 2022, most campus websites will require users to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) when signing in. This will include sites like Degree Works, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace (Blackboard replacement) and SUNY HR Portal. Buffalo State is adding this new protection as part of a SUNY-wide initiative to safeguard student privacy and data.

Some important notes/reminders about MFA:

You can add/update your verification methods at any time by visiting https://aka.ms/mfasetup.
You can, and should, add at least two verification methods (e.g. your cell phone, office phone, authenticator app).
The Microsoft Authenticator app is not required, but does make the MFA verification process easy and seamless (and can be used even when you don't have cellular service).
If you don't own a cell phone to use with MFA, you can request an MFA hardware token.
iPhone users who use the Mail app will need to remove and re-add their Buffalo State Exchange account.

If you have questions about multi-factor authentication, please review the MFA frequently asked questions page. You can also open a Technology Help ticket and select “Multi-Factor Authentication” from the drop-down menu labeled, “I need help with.” You can also email the IT Help Desk at ithelpdesk@buffalostate.edu.
