Multi-factor authentication settings
- When accessing Webmail or Integrated Authentication System user settings from off-campus, two-step authentication using multi-factor authentication is required in addition to "User ID" and "password". The following describes the preconfiguration method for using multi-factor authentication.
Three types of multi-factor authentication are available (either (1) OTP e-mail transmission, (2) TOTP, or (3) matrix code), so please use the one you are most comfortable with.
1 One Time Password (OTP) Usage Setting

Please log in to the Unified Authentication System user settings with your "User ID" and "Password". -
