Multi-Factor Authentication for PowerSchool SIS
PowerSchool SIS MFA only applies when PowerSchool is the Identity Provider (IdP). The MFA setup option will not be available if PowerSchool is not the IdP.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to your PowerSchool SIS account by requiring a verification code in addition to your password when signing in.
Voluntary Enrollment
If MFA is not yet enabled on your account, you can enroll at any time:
-
Click Enable Multi-Factor Authentication.
-
Scan the QR code with your mobile device or any device.
-
You will be directed to an authenticating application on your device.
-
If not, enter the 32-character key on the Authenticator app.
-
-
Enter the 6-digit code that is displayed on the application.
-
Click Verify Code.
-
Click Close.
Forced MFA Enrollment on Login
If your district has enabled the MFA redirect policy, teachers who have not yet set up MFA will be automatically redirected to the Manage Profile page upon login. A dialog will appear requiring you to set up MFA:
-
Upon login, a non-dismissible dialog is displayed informing you that MFA setup is required. This dialog cannot be closed using the Escape key or the close icon.
-
Click Continue. The MFA enrollment drawer opens.
-
Follow the standard MFA enrollment steps (scan QR code, enter verification code).
-
If you close the drawer without completing setup, you will be prompted again the next time you log in.
Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) based MFA does not require a mobile device. Most password managers also support TOTP based codes, including but not limited to Apple Passwords, 1Password, Bitwarden, and Dashlane. Work with your IT department for approved password manager options.
