The article discusses the implementation of phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) for users of the Federal Housing Administration Cybersecurity (FHAC) systems at HUD. With cyber threats such as phishing prevalent, the new MFA will offer extensive protection against online scams while prioritizing secure access for lenders, borrowers, and stakeholders. MFA is currently available and will be mandatory by July 28, 2025. Users must implement this feature to maintain access, and FHA recommends early adoption, providing setup instructions and offering support for any inquiries about the process.
MFA will enhance security for FHAC users, ensuring protection against phishing and other scams while improving identity management and access control capabilities.
The shift to phishing-resistant MFA is aimed at safeguarding sensitive lender and borrower information while reducing risks associated with shared credentials.
Users must implement the new MFA feature by July 28, 2025, or risk losing access to FHAC; early setup is highly recommended to bolster security.
FHA provides guidance on two MFA setup options, recommending Okta FastPass, and encourages users to seek assistance if needed.
