Overview

Multifactor Authentication (MFA), also called two-step verification, is ECU's security action that verifies your identity during log in to ECU resources. All ECU users, including faculty, students, staff, alumni, unpaid affiliates and some vendors/contractors (anyone assigned a PirateID to access ECU resources), are required to set up authentication through Microsoft 365 security settings.

New users set up their authentication methods when activating their account. Authentication methods can be changed through Microsoft 365 account security settings.
