MFA adds an important layer of security that will protect your SR TAFE account from being compromised or hacked.

• The Microsoft Authenticator App is available for iOS Apple and Android devices.
• We recommend you set it up using a smartphone and computer.
• You will need this to maintain your access to SR TAFE online systems like Microsoft 365, Student Portal and Blackboard.
