Why Switch to Microsoft Authenticator?

Are you using multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect your CSULB account? If so, great job! But did you know that the method you choose can make a big difference in your security?

Using the Microsoft Authenticator app is the best way to keep your CSULB account safe. It’s quick, easy, and much more secure than text or phone call methods. You’re more at risk of a thief gaining access to your account if you’re using text or phone call instead of the app!  In short, benefits include:

• Enhanced Security: The app provides stronger protection against unauthorized access.
• Convenience: No more waiting for texts or calls. Just a quick tap on your phone.
• Peace of Mind: Know that your data and personal information are safe.

Protect your data and your finances. Download the Microsoft Authenticator app today and take control of your security.
