Overview

Sundale has a new security feature called Multi-factor Authentication (MFA). Once registered, you can change your preference or contact details for verification at any time. This guide provides the steps to change or update you mobile phone number to receive a text message verification code or to change your preference to the Microsoft Verification App to use the verification code/notification option.

If for any reason, you no longer have access to the mobile number registered for your MFA account and have no way to access the verification code, you will need to contact the IT Helpdesk for assistance.
