Cisco Network Academy 2FA Setup Guide
Protect your Cisco Network Academy account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.
A Cisco Network Academy account holds coursework, records, and personal data worth protecting with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Cisco Network Academy also offers a proprietary app. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

How to recover your Cisco Network Academy account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Cisco Network Academy gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If Cisco Network Academy doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Cisco Network Academy's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
