How to enable school wide dual authentication

This guide will explain how to enable school wide dual authentication.

Provision Map supports the use of dual authentication, which adds an extra layer of security for login attempts. Instead of just supplying a username and a password, staff members will also have to supply information that is specific to your school.

To set up dual authentication for your school, mouse over the Admin tab and select the School settings option from the drop down menu.
