Deny unexpected multifactor authentication requests
The UNCSA IT department uses multifactor authentication (MFA) to provide enhanced
security for your UNCSA account. MFA prompts you for a second credential from the
Microsoft Authenticator app, a text message, or an email to an alternate address.
Never approve an MFA request from Microsoft Authenticator app if you're not trying
to log into your UNCSA account. This may be an attempt to break into your account
by someone who knows your password. Select "DENY" in the Authenticator app to stop
that access request.
If you accidentally approved an unexpected MFA request, you should reset your UNCSA
password via Microsoft Online. Read instructions for a password reset in the Information Technology's online knowledge base.
