Research suggests that continually changing passwords is not as effective as using additional security factors. Instead of using costly measures like biometrics or smart cards, IT Services offers Multi-Factor Authentication (or MFA) for your huntington.edu account.
The following video explains how to set up Multi-Factor authentication with the Microsoft Authenticator App or with a code sent via text message
