Keep Data Secure with MFA
Cybersecurity concerns are on the rise in schools across the country. To help all ClassLink schools keep their data safe, we will roll out a software update in early 2022 that requires all tenant admins to enable multi-factor authentication on all tenant admin user accounts.
If you are a tenant admin and haven’t enabled MFA in your ClassLink platform, we strongly recommend adopting this best practice now. You can get started with this easy-to-follow Help Center article.
To further strengthen your data security, we highly recommend you encourage staff and teachers to enable MFA in ClassLink. To begin that process, you can run a Security Report to help you identify teacher-level accounts that do not have ClassLink MFA activated. Then, use that data to encourage activation.
We understand how important data security is to you and your schools. If you have any questions or need help, contact your Engagement Representative.

We’ve also created a new MFA and Authentication Methods page where you can learn more about selecting ClassLink login options to support your cybersecurity efforts.
Haverhill’s Ransomware Recovery
