MFA: Temporary Access Pass

Overview

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

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

 

Request a Temporary Access Pass

Please contact the IT Service Desk (by phone, email, or walk-in) and request a temporary access pass.

Have the following information ready:

  1. Why you require a temporary access pass (broken/lost phone, travel, etc)
  2. How long you need it for (maximum 30 days)

Your request will be analysed by the Cybersecurity team and if required, a temporary access pass will be generated for you.
