    What is MFA?

    Have you ever gotten a text message on your phone with a code that needs to be entered to log in to a system? That's MFA. You know your username and password, but the code contained in the text adds another layer of protection to the authentication process. If someone steals your username and password but doesn't have your phone, they will not be able to impersonate you and access the system.

    How do I get it?

    Fill out this VUMC MFA Replacement Token Request If you have lost/replaced your phone or deleted your existing token from your phone.

    • Select Replace MobilePASS+ (purple) or MobilePASS (orange) token if you have lost/replaced your phone or deleted your existing token from your phone.
    • Once this token request has been processed, you will receive an e-mail from VUMC MFA (safenet@vumc.org) with instructions on completing your enrollment.
