Masaryk University 2FA Setup Guide
Masaryk University supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your Masaryk University account.
A Masaryk University account holds coursework, records, and personal data worth protecting with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Masaryk University also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Masaryk University also supports hardware security keys.

How to recover your Masaryk University account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Masaryk University 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 Masaryk University doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Masaryk University's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
