NTC is pleased to announce a new, free service to further safeguard your student data.

Two-factor authentication is an added layer of security that sends a confirmation notification to your phone or device of your choice when you log into your MyNTC student account and Cisco AnyConnect Secure Client VPN. It strengthens access security by requiring two methods (also referred to as factors) to verify your identity.

This prevents someone else from gaining access to your account if they somehow gain access to your password. In the near future we will add additional applications. If you would like to take advantage of this service please contact the IT Helpdesk at https://www.ntc.edu/helpdesk and let them know you would like to be set up for two-factor authentication and then please follow the steps below.

You can also learn more about two factor authentication through this informative two-minute video: https://youtu.be/0mvCeNsTa1g
