Setting up MFA Authenticator for IEC applications
Below are instructions for configuring a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) method as the second layer of security for your IEC account (aka “IEC Login”).
To complete the setup, you will need a smartphone and an authenticator mobile application.
If you do not already have one installed, the IEC Secretariat IT team recommends using Microsoft Authenticator.
