Setting Up Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor Authentication is required for district cybersecurity insurance and to meet industry best practices for cybersecurity in the 21st century.

There are two options for Multi-factor Authentication on PSD Portal (ClassLink).

Recommended Option:

Mobile Authenticator: You will install or use an APP on your mobile or an iPad that you will use to access a code to enter when signing in. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AN APP. WE RECOMMEND GOOGLE AUTHENTICATOR.

Alternative Option:

Mobile SMS: You will receive a code as a text message to a phone number you enter that can receive SMS (short message service). *You may NOT want to use this method if you have poor cell service or don’t want to use your mobile number.

The PIN option is available, but not recommended.
