Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security measure implemented by ITS to protect personal information, intellectual property, and university data. It combines your LUC UVID and password with an additional method, such as the Microsoft Authenticator app or a text message code, to verify identity. Users can expect an extra layer of protection that prevents unauthorized access, even if their password is compromised.
Microsoft Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) is Loyola University Chicago's tool for managing password changes and resets. It integrates with your existing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) preferences, such as the Microsoft Authenticator app or secure text messages, to verify identity. Users can expect to reset a forgotten password securely by following simple prompts, without administrative assistance.
