Office 365 is Barry University email and storage solution for all students and employees providing anytime, anywhere access to email, documents, contacts and calendar. Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) requires more than one method of verifying your identity to confirm that it is really you logging into your email/Office 365 account. This protects you and our community by preventing cybercriminals from accessing your account. Multi-factor authentication for your email/Office 365 account will confirm your identity by verifying something you know (your email address & password) and something you have (a trusted device – such as a mobile phone).
More information about Office 365 multi-factor authentication can be found on the Accounts and Passwords section our website: https://barryit.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/1826/Portal/KB/?CategoryID=2212
If you are unable to enroll into multi-factor authentication at this time, please contact the IT Service Delivery. Contact information for IT Service Delivery can be found online at http://help.barry.edu.
