Authenticator App - Novaz

Toronto Metropolitan University 2FA Setup Guide

torontomu.ca Supported

Protect your Toronto Metropolitan University 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 Toronto Metropolitan University account holds coursework, records, and personal data worth protecting with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Toronto Metropolitan University also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Toronto Metropolitan University also supports hardware security keys.

How to recover your Toronto Metropolitan University account

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