All ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõstudents and applicants must use Multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log in. MFA means you need to do two steps to log in. For example, after typing your password, you may need to enter a code sent to your phone.

At VCC, we recommend using the Microsoft Authenticator app. 

Why? The Microsoft Authenticator app can help you log in even if your phone has no signal or wifi. It is very useful, especially in emergencies.

The short video below shows how to set up MFA for your ³ÉÈËÍ·ÌõMicrosoft account.

Other ways to use MFA

If you do not have a mobile phone, or if you do not want to use the Microsoft Authenticator app, you can use your cellphone to get a code by text message.

If this method also does not work for you, you can buy a Security Key at the ³ÉÈËÍ·ÌõBookstore. A Security Key is a small device that you plug into your computer. It replaces the app or text code.

If you choose this option, you must always have your Security Key with you to log in to ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõsystems.

You can also buy a Security Key from online stores. Make sure the key says it supports FIDO2 protocol. These keys usually cost around $40, depending on where you buy them.
