Please note, if you do not have a number listed, or it says “Office Phone” you will need to call the FVTC Helpdesk during normal operating hours: 920.735.5644 to add in your correct info.

Using Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Many of our FVTC systems will use Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication to protect our data.

You should already have a cell phone on record when you created your password.  You can have the system use that to text or call you to verify your information.

If you need help with this, please call the FVTC Helpdesk during normal operating hours: 920.735.5644
Or visit our help site:  Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication (Microsoft MFA)

Setting up Duo (two-factor authentication)

While you already have the Microsoft MFA setup from the step above, PLEASE NOTE, if you will have to enter grades in your MyFVTC Account, you'll also need to set-up Duo for that access.  

 


PLEASE NOTE! BEFORE YOU BEGIN: You will need to have a valid FVTC ID number and password.


Download the App

We highly recommend downloading the Duo app for the best user experience.  It can be found in both iTunes and Google Play Stores.

The logo looks like this:

Step 2: Click on the Complete Duo Enrollment button.

Step 3: Click Start Setup to begin.

Duo Tips

  • FImage of a Duo fobor the best experience, we highly recommend using a smart phone.  However, it is not required. 

  • You can use landline phones, such as your FVTC desk phone, a personal home landline or cell phone. We recommend having multiple options.

  • IF NONE OF THESE OPTIONS ARE CONVENIENT: You can request a hardware token (shown here), which will generate a unique code for your login attempts. 
    • Request one by calling the helpdesk: 920-735-5644.

How do I get in?

  • Access your MyFVTC Account 
    • Append mode is used when there is no button to send a push or text box to enter a duo passcode.
      It uses this pattern when you enter your password:  Your Password -- A Comma -- Then a command or code

      SEND A PUSH TO THE DUO
      APP ON YOUR PHONE
      USE A CODE FROM YOUR
      APP OR YOUR TOKEN
      HAVE DUO CALL YOUR
      PRIMARY PHONE NUMBER
       Example:  MyPassword,push Example:  MyPassword,123456 Example:  MyPassword,phone1


      Additional append mode information can be found on the official Duo Website here
