Multi-Factor Authentication

Add an extra layer of protection to your Praxis student account with 2-Step Verification.

Account Protection

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Your Praxis student email account provides access to important academic and digital services. To help protect your account, we strongly recommend enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), also known as 2-Step Verification, on your Google account.

MFA adds an extra layer of security to your account. Even if someone gets your password, they will not be able to access your account without completing the additional verification step.

Why Enable MFA?

  • Unauthorized access

  • Stolen or compromised passwords

  • Phishing and suspicious login attempts

  • Unauthorised access to your email and other connected services

How to Enable 2-Step Verification

  1. Sign in to your Praxis Google account.

  2. Go to your Google Account settings.

  3. Select Security from the menu.

  4. Under How you sign in to Google, select 2-Step Verification.

  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Verification Methods

  • Google Prompt on your mobile device

  • Authenticator app

  • Security key

  • Backup codes

Important Security Tips

  • Keep your registered mobile device secure.

  • Do not share verification codes or authentication prompts with anyone.

  • Keep your recovery information up to date.

  • Store backup codes in a safe place.

  • If you receive an unexpected sign-in request, do not approve it.

Remember: Praxis IT Team will never ask you to share your password or verification codes.
