Peirce College 2FA and Password Policy for Students
Please set up 2-Step Verification for your Peirce College email address. This is a mandatory security measure that will help protect your account and the College's data.
2-Step Verification adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring you to enter a code from your phone in addition to your password when you sign in. This makes it much more difficult for someone to hack into your account, even if they know your password.
Setting up 2-Step Verification is a quick and easy process. You can do it by following these steps:
-
