Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Students Coming Soon!

Dear Families,

To further protect student data and enhance online security, the Peninsula School District will be enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for students logging into ClassLink, our Student Portal. MFA is a widely used security measure that adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring that only authorized users can access accounts, keeping student information and district resources safe. 

To learn more about how MFA works, watch this quick video: 



At PSD, we are dedicated to keeping students safe—both in the classroom and online. Introducing MFA is part of our ongoing effort to teach students responsible digital citizenship, and how to protect their digital footprint and online accounts.
  • Primary students will select a photo for their MFA, making login simple and fun.
  • Secondary students will use a 6-digit code for authentication.
  • No cell phones will be needed for this process.
The image shows two browser windows open to the ClassLink website (launchpad.classlink.com), featuring multi-factor authentication (MFA) steps. The first window displays "MFA Image Selection," prompting users to select an image from a grid of icons, including a globe, graduation cap, clock, and others. The second window displays "MFA Pin Entry," where users are prompted to enter a 6-digit PIN, shown partially filled with numbers 8, 3, 6, 1, 5, and 9. The website has a cloud logo with ClassLink branding in the header.

Teachers will guide students through the MFA process throughout the next month, ensuring they understand how to login securely.


Thank you for partnering with us to ensure that our students and their information remain secure, both in the classroom and online!
