Office 365 MFA
When you log in using Microsoft MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), you will be asked to authenticate your identity using a second factor, either a cell number, alternate authentication phone, or by using the Microsoft Authenticator App on your cell phone.
Here is how it works
Step 1:
On the day your account has been activated for MFA, visit email.cortland.edu and sign in with your myRedDragon username and password. Then click Sign in. A page that asks for more information will be displayed. Then click Next.
Step 2:
Secure your account by adding security verification. You will use the verification method you select to verify your account every time you log in to your email. You can change/edit/add options for your verification methods if needed.
