How to add, change, or remove a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) method

Tags MFA

Overview

To help protect your Fleming account, all users are required to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). We strongly recommend registering at least two authentication methods. Having a backup method ensures you can still access your account if your primary device is unavailable, lost, or replaced.

If you do not own a mobile phone, you can use a physical security key as an alternative authentication method.

Supported MFA methods

Fleming College supports the following authentication methods:

  • Microsoft Authenticator
  • Passkeys
  • Windows Hello for Business
  • SMS text messages
  • Voice calls
  • Hardware tokens (Fobs)

Note: The most secure available method will automatically be selected as your default authentication method.

Adding a New MFA method

To add an additional authentication method:

  1. Navigate to My Sign-Ins | Security Info | Microsoft.com
  2. Sign in using your Fleming email and password. 
  3. Under My Account, Select Security Info. 
  4. Click + Add sign-in method. 
  5. Select the authentication method you want to add. 
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. 

Change or Remove an MFA Method

Ensure you always have at least one alternative authentication method registered before deleting an existing method.

  • To change or remove an existing MFA method, select the Change/Delete on the particular MFA method.
