Multi-factor Authentication
Inclement Weather: February 25, 2026
All classes starting prior to 11 a.m. will be remote. Classes after 11 a.m. will be in person. Non-essential staff should work remote until 11 a.m. then report to campus as scheduled.
Additional Protection For Your Account
In order to protect end-user account information and stop unauthorized access, SHU IT Security has implemented multi-factor authentication (MFA) to your Sacred Heart credentials (Your username and password). With MFA enabled, an attacker will be unable to log into your account with just your username and password. It is highly recommended to use the Microsoft Authenticator App’s notification feature on your mobile device to receive authentication prompts.
Setting Up MFA
Once your SHU account is created, you will be automatically enrolled for MFA. You can begin setting up MFA using a computer and mobile device. Select the link below for MFA setup instructions. If you need assistance, contact the PioTech Center at 203-365-7575.
