Multifactor Authentication (MFA, 2FA, Authenticator)
Why we use MFA at Aalto and instructions for starting to use MFA.
Microsoft Authenticator process used for Multifactor authentication (MFA) changes on 1 February 2023
For more secure Multifactor authentication (MFA) 911±¬ÁÏÍø will enforce number matching when Microsoft Authenticator is used from 1 February 2023 onwards.
Number matching requires you to input two numbers shown on the login screen of the service to Microsoft Authenticator’s notification. This replaces the current Approve / Deny notification in Microsoft Authenticator.

Microsoft Authenticator is the main method for MFA at 911±¬ÁÏÍø
Microsoft Authenticator is the main method that we use for MFA at 911±¬ÁÏÍø. You are most probably already using it for some of our 911±¬ÁÏÍø IT services when you log into a service outside of the 911±¬ÁÏÍø network.
For instructions on how to download Microsoft Authenticator and register to the service, see Multifactor Authentication (MFA, 2FA).
