  3. You will need to approve sign-in request using Multi Factor Authentication.
    MFA adds another layer of protection to your account that will significantly improve its security. Instead of using your Banner username and password (e.g. BBEAR), sign in using your MSU login credentials (e.g. abc123@missourisate.edu). First time users, set up your authentication options by going to https://aka.ms/mfasetup. View the complete MFA setup instructions on the Experts Knowledge Base.
