Safer login with Microsoft Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) Number Matching

Starting May 8, 2023, MFA Number Matching will be activated for your Radboud account. When using a Microsoft 365 service, you will be prompted to enter a two-digit number in your Authenticator app.

MFA Number Matching is a form of Multi Factor Authentication. It prevents you from accidentally authorizing a rogue login attempt. This is because the login attempt is only successful when you enter a two-digit number from your Authenticator app. So accidentally giving permission by simply pressing 'Agree' is a thing of the past.
