The process enhances the security of access to the Trinity Western University email system. It involves using a secondary method to confirm a user’s identity in addition to their password. For instance, after entering the password, a code sent to a registered mobile device or an authenticator app must be provided to gain entry.
This additional layer of security significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized account access, even if a password becomes compromised. Its implementation reflects a proactive approach to safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of university communications. The adoption of multi-factor authentication stems from increasing cyber security threats and the need to protect user data.
