Your San Francisco State account security is important!
Due to the recent rise in phishing attempts and security vulnerabilities, San Francisco State University has implemented multi-factor authentication for various campus systems, including your Student Center Account, The Gateway, SF State email, Canvas, and many others. Multi-factor authentication (MFA, for short) asks individuals to participate with a secondary confirmation of their identity at a portal log-in using a physical device in their possession (a mobile device, app, etc.). San Francisco State University will use Duo Security for multi-factor authentication.
