La Trobe University 2FA Setup Guide

latrobe.edu.au Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on La Trobe University to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, La Trobe University asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.

A La Trobe University account holds coursework, records, and personal data worth protecting with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, La Trobe University also offers a proprietary app. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.
