This article will explain what you can do if you get an email about unusual activity on your UFV account, or if you’re worried that someone else might have used your account.
To review your recent sign-in activity
You can view when your UFV account was signed in during the last 30 days and what application was accessed, along with device information like what browser was used, the device IP address, and the approximate location.
You can review your sign in history at https://mysignins.microsoft.com/.
You can also see your Recent Activity from your Microsoft account page at https://myaccount.microsoft.com/.
Click "My sign ins" in the left hand menu (or the "My sign ins" tile) as shown below:
I see an unrecognized sign-in
If you see an unrecognized sign-in, it could mean that an attacker was trying to guess your password.
To secure your account, click the link within the sign in activity that says "Look unfamiliar? Secure your account".
This will help you to:
1. Change your UFV password to something unique and complex.
2. Review your security information (MFA methods) and remove any MFA methods you don't recognize.
3. You can also email cybersecurity@ufv.ca about the activity.
