It is a method of identity verification using a secondary device, or factor, to access your Bocconi account.
It is a security method that guarantees the utmost protection and discretion relating to our personal information. In case an outsider manages to steal your password, identity verification using a second factor would still prevent access.
After an initial setup using a QR code, which only needs to be scanned the first time, you will need to enter a numerical code confirming your identity each time you access Bocconi applications. To retrieve this code, you will need to open the app installed on your smartphone. The second factor will not be required when you are connected to the campus WiFi network, bocconi-students.
Attached is the setup guide with instructions on how to enable the second factor.
