PCTVS now requires all faculty and staff to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to secure their district accounts. To follow along with this guide, please open this page on a desktop or laptop device and have your smartphone on hand.

I Don't Have a Smartphone!

Setting up MFA for your district account requires users have a smartphone with an active telephone number. If you do not have a smartphone, are unable to install apps on your phone, or are otherwise unable to use your phone, you must request a hardware token from the Technology Department. Please submit a ticket under: Other > Request Hardware > Request MFA token.

You will need to register two sign-in methods to secure your account: Microsoft Authenticator and phone number. Once your sign-in methods are set up, it may take up to 24 hours for multi-factor authentication to take effect.

You must follow all steps in this guide—for both Microsoft Authenticator and phone number—to successfully set up MFA.
