Attention,
As part of CUNY’s cybersecurity initiative, CUNY is finalizing the rollout of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) for key systems like CUNYfirst, Brightspace, Navigate, Zoom, DegreeWorks, and CourseDog on December 4th, 2025 CUNYwide.
If you haven’t yet set up any authenticator app (such as Microsoft Authenticator app, google or any other of your choice) on your mobile device, please do so as soon as possible to avoid disruptions on December 4th, 2025
Why act now?
Getting this done early ensures seamless access to all your academic tools—and adds an additional layer of protection to keep your data secure.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: The MFA setup must be completed in one sitting. If interrupted, the account may be left in an incomplete state and require IT intervention.

Tip: for those of you who already have this on a phone but need to set it up on another phone, you must have both phones present as the pin for setup will be sent to the older phone.
