How to use OXU account to log-in instead of Google account
If you are a Member, you do not configure authentication settings.
You only need to:

3- Create your password & log-in with your password
MFA verification is required when:
From now on, your OXU account is your "Master Key." Whenever you log-in in any website (like Figma, Zoom, or Canva), it won't ask for a Google password, it will send you straight to OXU to verify who you are.
How it works
Let’s say you want to log into a new tool (e.g., Zoom Figma or Canva…):
After you are authenticated successfully, you will be redirected to your assigned dashboard or workspace.
The verification method is automatically selected based on organization policy. We recommend you to set up your MFA following your organization policy for security. Read user guide for setting up MFA here.
After finishing set up MFA, you will log-in again by MFA method for verification. At this step, please choose the method you have set up to log-in.
Mandatory MFA is enforced by the organization

Click "Sign in with Google": On the website, choose the Google login option.
Enter your Google email: Type your Google address.
Login direction: Google will recognize your email has registered OXU account. Then, you will be automatically redirected to the OXU login screen.

Account activation: Email verification must be completed.
Password setup: A secure OXU password must be created.
MFA configuration: Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA) must be fully enabled and active.
