Set up Multi-Factor Authentication

To provide an extra layer of security, El Camino College has implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for students and employees.

MFA is used to verify your account when using MyECC from an off-campus location. You may not be able to access Canvas or your @elcamino.edu email address until you complete this step.

Begin setup

Register for MFA

You will be prompted to sign into MyECC if not signed in already.

When you see the More information required screen, click Next to continue setup.
