Why are we doing MFA?
It is a requirement from our insurance because hackers do target K-12 educators.
Educators are often giving, in a rush, and do click on compromised links.
We’ve already had staff click links that auto sent students emails asking for their banking information for summer jobs.
Large institutions, such as schools and hospitals, have had their information held ransom, which is another reason our insurance is requiring MFA
I don’t want my biometric information on a school device
Then create a pin in Windows Hello (this is device specific and won’t work to authenticate on a different laptop)
I don’t want a school app on my phone
To do school work on a school device, you don’t need to use your personal phone.
If you want to do school work (currently this includes Outlook, but will likely include Google logins in the future) on a personal device (phone, tablet, personal laptop) you will need to use the Duo app.
I don’t want my phone to be confiscated
Using district provided apps helps to keep you safe.
All district apps, (such as Crisis Go, School Email, Zoom Phone) are backed up and the information is accessible by the tech dept.

I forgot my phone
You should have setup Windows Hello on your laptops. Use the data you setup to authenticate with Windows (pin, fingerprint or facial recognition with your monitor). Remember this is device specific.
