Steps to Reset Your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):

To reset your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), please follow these guidelines:

Reach out to the GBIT Service Desk in-person or over the phone.
GBIT will verify your account information. Please be ready to provide further information if required.

Why can't Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) be reset via email?
