Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Once you have activated your Berkeley Lab Identity, please enable your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). You will need the MFA to access Berkeley Lab web-based enterprise applications such as Lab email, training, and other sites requiring Berkeley Lab login credentials. As a new user, for seven days you will be able to log into your Berkeley Lab Identity using just your name and password. During that seven day period you should follow the link that you will see on a log-in reminder (https://identity.lbl.gov/mfa) to set up an MFA token generator. MFA tokens are generated by using the Google Authenticator App (which can be downloaded on a Smartphone)
Please visit the IT page here to learn more about the MFA process or visit this link to learn additional info. For any questions about MFA, please contact the IT Help Desk via email at help@lbl.gov or call 510-486-4357.
Onsite Safety & Ergonomic Information
