To the ENTIRE MCC COMMUNITY,
In order to protect CCSNH’s systems and data, and retain our cyber security liability insurance, the Chancellor’s Office implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) at CCSNH & all NH community colleges. Attempted data breaches are occurring at an alarming rate and are becoming increasingly complicated. The information stolen can include PII, usernames, and passwords. Passwords alone are no longer sufficient to protect critical data. Adding MFA will help remediate the risk of attack and data loss. MFA credentialing is used frequently for many personal tasks you likely perform online already, such as banking.
MFA will be a second authentication credential in addition to the traditional Easylogin username and password you currently use. If you access CCSNH systems (such as Banner, Canvas, SIS, Email, ZOOM, and others) or M365 (word, excel, outlook, etc.), you will be required to use MFA. Once MFA is introduced you will need to authenticate on a regular basis, for example, every 12 hours for web-based applications or if a new browser session is initiated. Applications such as Outlook, Word, Teams, etc. installed on a desktop will prompt for MFA every 90 days.
Additional communication, instructions, and FAQs will be shared with students over the next few days. On August 8th, 2022, all students will need to register for a device to receive the MFA credentials. Everyone will then use MFA credentials each time they access CCSNH systems.
If you have any questions, please contact the Helpdesk at MCCITsupport@ccsnh.edu or by calling 603-206-8080.
Click on the document link above for detailed step-by-step instructions.
Everyone will be prompted to complete a quick, one-time registration process when logging onto Canvas, SIS, Student or Web-based email, Student Navigate, etc for the very first time (after claiming your EasyLogin account).
Simply supply a personal email address and/or telephone number capable of receiving texts.
If you provide a personal email address, an email will be sent to that address. Make sure you find that email and follow the prompts to finish the email setup.
If you provide a cellphone number, you will immediately be prompted to provide the code texted to that phone number. provide the code to setup that phone number as a valid authentication source.
It's that simple.
