HFU account for students

HFUACCOUNT 10-020

Security updates are required

Due to a critical security issue with the Microsoft Authenticator app, which is often used for two-factor authentication, we ask that you (if it hasn’t already happened automatically) update the app as soon as possible using the standard update features in the app stores (iOS / Android). On Android, version 6.2605.2973 and later resolves the issue; on iOS, the update is available starting with version 6.8.47. If you have enabled automatic app updates for your mobile operating system, you will receive the update automatically.
