Microsoft Multifactor Authentication

Earlier this year, Multifactor Authentication (MFA) became a requirement for accessing Microsoft 365 at UWF. Starting July 8, 2025, MFA will also be required for all UWF resources that use Microsoft accounts, including services like Azure.

If you've already set up MFA for Microsoft 365, no further action is needed. However, if you haven’t yet configured MFA, you will be prompted to do so when accessing other Microsoft services after the enforcement date.

To get ahead of the transition, you can follow the steps outlined in Configuring Multifactor Authentication (MFA) to enroll in MFA now.

Alert Handling

How do we define an alert

All of the following must apply:

  • We can consistently reproduce an unexpected behavior.
  • An issue is generating a number of responses from the UWF community.
  • An alert is posted either on this page, or our main Technology Alerts page.
  • Either ITS or the third-party vendors are aware of the issue.
  • Either ITS or the third-party vendors are actively working to resolve the issue.
  • Notices* will be posted if an outage is planned for high impact services.

* Other changes may occur during our posted maintenance windows that will not have a formal notice.

What to expect from an alert

ITS will make best efforts to provide the following for each alert:

  • What is expected to occur
  • What actually occurs
  • What are the workarounds for the issue (if there are any)
  • Which departments and third-party vendors are working to resolve the issue
  • When was the alert posted
  • When was the alert closed
