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 for all users across CUNY (faculty/staff & students).
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 now to avoid disruptions on December 4th, 2025
Why act now?
After the rollout of MFA you will not be able to access Brightspace, CUNYfirst, Zoom etc. without providing the code as part of Multi Factor Authentication. You must act now for a smooth ending to the semester.
⚠️ 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. It is better if you download Microsoft Authenticator (free) or any authenticator app of your choice before you begin.
