3. Get Connected to the WiFi

5. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- When you setup your e-mail account you will be prompted to add an authentication method such as a phone or app which will be used when you login to help secure your account.
- We recommend you create at least 2 different methods of authentication, (such as a mobile phone and a landline phone), as if you lose your mobile phone then you can easily get locked out of your account.
