MFA Temporary Access Pass

What is temporary access pass?

A temporary access pass is a passcode that lets you to verify your identity when signing in, instead of your usual MFA method.

Students and employees are required to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify their identity when signing in to UFV services - either with a phone or security key.

If you don't have access to your MFA method, we can generate a temporary access pass for you to use instead.

A temporary access pass may be right for you if:

  • The device you use for MFA verification is lost/stolen, broken, or you temporarily can't access it
  • You will be travelling, with or without your device

Have the following information ready:
