Announcement of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Implementation for Current Students
The Digital Technology Office would like to inform you that Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will be implemented to enhance the security of KKU Accounts
Why do we need MFA?
- Provides more security than using passwords alone
- Even if criminals know your password, they still can't access your account without the second authentication device
- Better protection against phishing attacks
- Reduces risk from data breaches in an era of increasing cyber threats
Benefits of MFA
- Prevents unauthorized account access even if passwords are guessed or leaked
- Reduces risk from phishing attacks
- Protects personal data, emails, and important documents
- Increases confidence in online transactions through university systems
