Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an information security best practice that adds an extra measure of protection beyond your user name and password. It adds a step to our login process by requiring everyone to prove their identity using something in their possession, such as a mobile device or token.
Your JMU eID (also called “username” in some applications/systems) is your electronic identification that provides access to password protected websites and services, such as mylogin.jmu.edu, MyMadison, Canvas, the JMU Official Wireless network, and more.
