Re: [External] [SECURITY] MFA in classrooms

["Telfer, Will" <Will_Telfer () BAYLOR EDU>]

There are no exemptions for MFA in classrooms, but we do allow phone numbers to be registered so instructors can enroll 
the phone in the classroom if there is one or call the Help Desk to be issues an emergency/temporary bypass code. We 
require MFA for Office apps (including email), our LMS, our cloud storage, & more. Since we have MFA on virtually 
everything student, faculty, & staff use on a daily basis, folks are usually good about remembering their devices 
because they know they will need them. We do allow a user on a system to be 'remembered' for 7 days so if the user 
chooses that option & is using the same classroom(s) consistently, they can authenticate without needing their device 
too.

Thank You,

We exempt MFA for Office365 from on campus.  Other systems with sensitive category data require MFA from everywhere.  
Many academic focused systems do not have MFA at all (yet anyway).

We are hoping to look into creating more granular, flexible MFA rules using Conditional Access in the near future as we 
revisit things for our longer term remote work plans.

Subject: [External] [SECURITY] MFA in classrooms

All, I am wondering how others have addressed access by faculty in classrooms to resources that require MFA:

Do you require MFA in classrooms?

If you do not, how do you address this area?

Thank you.
