What is CUNY MFA?
CUNY is implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to provide more secure access to university applications and services and to better protect your data and CUNY’s data from cyberattacks.
All John Jay students, faculty, and staff will be required to use CUNY MFA to access key university systems.
Note: CUNY MFA is different from Microsoft 365 MFA and John Jay DUO.
