When setting up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), we strongly recommend that you set up more than one method to help avoid the possibility of you being locked out in the future.
Setting up MFA for the the first time
- Go to the Office 365 My Account page
Students can log in with their VWU Email Address or their 7-digit student ID + @vwu.edu (e.g 1234567@vwu.edu)
- Enter your âVWU Email Addressâ and Click âNextâ
- Type in your VWU Password and Click âSign inâ
- Click âSecurity infoâ (on the Left) or âUPDATE INFOâ under the Security info box
- Click âAdd sign-in methodâ
- Select a method from the list to configure
The recommended method is to choose âAuthenticator appâ. The enrollment has a few more steps, however, it will save you time in the future when logging in.

Remember to set up a second method for MFA. A Security Key is a great alternative method in situations where you left your cell phone at home or if your cell phone is lost or damaged.
