Throughout the Fall 2025 semester, the State Department of Education worked with over 500 districts across the state to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on Single Sign-On (SSO) accounts. This effort strengthens account security and helps protect your data. This January, we look to completing statewide implementation with the remaining districts.

MFA is a critical security measure that requires users to verify their identity using a second factor -MFA app code- before accessing their SSO account. This added layer of protection helps safeguard user accounts, school data and sensitive information from unauthorized access.

What to Expect:

• After logging in to your SSO account, a QR code will appear to prompt MFA setup.

• Ensure you have selected an MFA application for use.

• Review the MFA guidance Links and Docs for step-by-step instructions.

• If you need assistance, contact the OMES helpdesk at (405) 521-2444 or servicedesk@omes.ok.gov

This update strengthens the security of user accounts, protects sensitive data, reduces risk in the event of a data breach, and aligns with established cybersecurity compliance standards.
