Audience: Seesaw teachers, families, and administrators
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides an extra layer of sign-in security. MFA helps keep out anyone who shouldn't have access to your account by requiring a verification code (sent via email) in addition to your password before your account can be accessed.
- MFA is available for teachers, family members, and administrators who sign in with an email address and password.
- Student email/password accounts do not use MFA.
- District Administrators who sign in with email/password are required to use MFA.
- You'll need access to your email during setup.
- Seesaw teachers, families, and administrators can enable MFA at anytime.
How to set up MFA
- Select your profile icon.
- Select the gear icon.
- Select Account Settings.
- Tap Multi-Factor Authentication.
- Toggle ON Enable Multi-Factor Authentication.
- Check your inbox.
- Enter the verification code.
After MFA is enabled, you'll be asked to verify your identity when signing in from a new device, browser, network, or other unfamiliar location.
District Administrators who sign in using an email address and password must complete MFA every time they sign in and reauthenticate every 7 days.
