What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

什麼是多重身份驗證 MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication)?


Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), also known as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), is a security mechanism that requires users to provide two or more authentication factors before gaining access to a system or application.

多重身份驗證 (MFA) 也稱為雙因素身份驗證 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication),是一種要求用戶在登錄系統或應用程序之前提供兩個或多個身份驗證因素的 安全機制。


It is a robust security measure that enhances the protection of sensitive student data and user 

accounts within Paradigm as it significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access.

這是一項強大的安全措施,可以顯著降低未經授權登錄的風險,從而增強對 Paradigm 內的學生敏感數據和用戶帳戶的保護。



Authentication Method

身份驗證方法


The primary authentication requires users to provide their username and password.

主要的身份驗證需要用戶提供用戶名(username)和密碼 (password)。


  • For students, the username is their ACT Student Number.
    對於學生,用戶名是他們的澳洲神學院(ACT)學生編號。

  • If you don't have a password yet or have forgotten your password, you can reset it here:
    如果您還沒有密碼或忘記了密碼,您可以在此鏈接重置密碼:
    https://act.edu.net.au/php/reset_user_login_password.php


After successful primary authentication, users are prompted to provide an additional authentication 

factor as secondary authentication in form of a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) via an app on 

your phone.

成功進行主要的身份驗證後,系統會提示用戶通過手機上的應用程序以基於時間的一次性密碼 TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password)的形式提供額外的身份驗證因素作為輔助身份驗證。


The recommended TOTP app is the Google Authenticator.

推薦的基於時間的一次性密碼 (TOTP)應用程序是 Google Authenticator
