Registering for MFA

💡
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.

Students can log in with their VWU Email Address or their 7-digit student ID + @vwu.edu (e.g 1234567@vwu.edu)

    The recommended method is to choose “Authenticator app”. 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.
