• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

    Throughout the 2021-2022 School Year, the Washoe County School District has been implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all eligible staff members.  MFA has helped the District implement a practical step toward avoiding a cyber breach while meeting regulatory and compliance objectives.

    All staff members will be required to use MFA to access District Information Resources like OneDrive, SharePoint, and Outlook Online by March 31, 2022, when they are off of the District network.  All staff members, including new employees, must enroll themselves individually.

    To enroll, please follow the directions in the MFA Setup guide (under Quick Links below) or these short instructions:

    4. Select “Text me a code” > Next
    5. Enter the 6 digit code you receive by text message > Next
    6. You’re done! You have successfully enrolled in MFA.
