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.
