After the MFA requirement has been applied, you will receive a prompt to register for Microsoft MFA the first time you log in to a UBalt system. It is recommended that you log out of all UBalt accounts and applications before the changeover. Additionally, you should allow 10 – 20 minutes to complete the registration and authentication process before logging in for a scheduled task, such as online classes or virtual meetings. Once you have completed the registration process, you will be prompted to authenticate on all devices, including desktop applications and mobile applications.
More information and documentation on the process is available on the OTS IT Security Improvement page including:
The Microsoft Authenticator app is the primary authentication method that will be supported. Physical authentication tokens can be requested by individuals who are unable to use the Microsoft Authenticator app due to not having a smart device. Please submit a request using this form by September 9 if you will need a hardware token to authenticate.
Please send any questions to the OTS Call Center by submitting a ticket or contacting callcenter@ubalt.edu.
