ParklandOne - Set Up and Use SMS Text for MFA

"ParklandOne" refers to your digital credentials for the College. It encompasses your Parkland username, password, and multifactor authentication (MFA). ParklandOne account management is powered by a system called Okta. This article reviews the process of how to set up ParklandOne with SMS Authentication and how to use it to log into Parkland services.

SMS Authentication sends a code via text to the mobile phone number that was entered during the setup process. The code is then entered into the MFA prompt to allow authentication to the service.

  • On the Set up security methods screen, click the Set up button below the Phone option.
