ParklandOne - Set Up and Use Voice Call 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 set up and usage of the Voice Call authentication method for Parkland services.
Voice Call Authentication allows the use of any phone number that can receive calls to be used as an MFA factor within ParklandOne. When prompted, the user will receive a phone call on the phone number that was set up and they will be supplied with a code (verbally). The user then inputs the code into the MFA prompt and is allowed into the service. Please note that if you choose to use a phone number associated with a landline phone, you must be physically near that phone in order to receive the code.
Set up Voice Call Authentication
- On the Set up security methods screen, click the Set up button below the Phone option.
- Select your country and enter your phone number. If you have an extension, be sure to enter it in the extension field. If not, leave that field blank. When done, Click Receive a code via voice call.
- Your phone will ring and you will verbally be given a 5-digit code. Input the code in the Enter Code field and click Verify.
- NOTE: If you do not receive the code at this stage, a prompt will appear to Call again. If you do not receive the call, please select this prompt and the system will attempt to call again.
- If the code was entered correctly, you are then directed back to the factor set up screen. If you are finished, click Set up later.
