IT Services provide affiliate accounts for a specific purpose and duration. An affiliate is defined as a person working for, or on behalf of, the University who will not be given a staff number and who is not paid directly by the University, but requires access to Library & IT services. An affiliate account can be requested for a maximum of 12 months.

Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires two or more proofs of identty to grant you access to a system or service. This provides added security to your account, ensuring that it cannot be used without your knowledge. This additional security involves the verification of your identity using an additional factor, e.g. one factor may be something you know, such as a password or PIN, and the additional factor may be something your have, such as a smartphone. This prevents others from accessing your account, even if they know your password.
