MFa FAQs
How do I get into my account if my phone breaks and I can't get to my Google authenticator codes?
It is a good idea to have more then one method ready on your NICC account (login.nicc.edu) that way you can select a different one if something happens to your phone or Google Authenticator app.
For instance, having the Google Authenticator, email, and text (SMS) filled in and getting a backup set of OTPs printed would allow you to get into your account if one of them isn't accessible to you anymore (i.e. phone breaks)
If the other methods are not setup to use or you have any issues, please contact the Helpdesk at 844-642-2338, ext 555.
