About this course

This course explains why passwords alone no longer protect accounts, and what to use instead. It covers password managers, passkeys and multi-factor authentication, including the “MFA fatigue” attacks that try to wear people down with repeated approval requests. It also covers what to do if an account is compromised, and gives learners practice. It’s written for every employee.

Reused and weak passwords are one of the easiest ways into an organization: when one site is breached, attackers try the same password everywhere else. Many people find password managers and passkeys confusing and avoid them, and some approve unexpected MFA prompts just to make them stop. A single compromised account can give an attacker access to email, files and systems, sometimes for weeks before anyone notices.

  • Scenarios and a knowledge check
  • Web and mobile app, including offline

Securing Your Accounts: Password Management and Multi-Factor Authentication FAQ

Yes. Every TechClass user license includes the Essentials courses in the Course Library, and this is one of them. There is no fee per course or per learner.

About 60 minutes, in short lessons. It is self-paced, so a learner can stop and continue on any device, including the mobile app, and offline.

Yes. A certificate of completion is issued when the knowledge check is passed, and the completion is recorded for your reporting.

It supports one, where a rule asks that people are trained on the subject, and TechClass records who completed it. Whether a requirement is met depends on your own policies and processes, so that is a question for your compliance lead or legal adviser.

Library courses are ready to use as they are. You can build and fully edit your own courses in TechClass, including from your own policies with the AI Course Creator, and combine both in one learning program.

An Essentials course gives everyone the concepts and rules in about an hour. A Skills course goes deeper for the roles that need it: about 8 hours with practice, a graded assessment and a certificate that lists the skills, licensed per learner.

English, at this stage.
