# UCLA Multi-Factor Authentication

## For Google Apps for Education (g.ucla.edu)

Since Google Apps authentication is done using <span class="caps">UCLA</span> Single Sign On (<span class="caps">SSO</span>), turning on 2-step verification through your Google Apps account settings won’t have the intended behavior. If you’d like to add multi-factor authentication protection to your Google Apps account you’ll want to turn on <span class="caps">MFA</span> for your <span class="caps">UCLA</span> Logon ID.

## For <span class="caps">UCLA</span> Logon ID

All employees including student workers are required to enroll in <span class="caps">MFA</span> as of October 31, 2017 <span class="caps">MFA</span> is available as an option to all other <span class="caps">UCLA</span> Logon account holders (i.e. students, alumni, retirees, contractors, etc.) but is opt-in.
