Secure authentication for the classroom

Classroom MFA creates a second layer of protection for all applications in Clever, plus Google Workspace and Chromebook logins, and Entra ID. It prevents unauthorized access into accounts with access to sensitive data, and meets common requirements for cybersecurity insurance policies.

No phone? No problem.

Use login pictures, 6-digit PINs, or Clever Badges for age-appropriate, classroom-friendly MFA methods.

Fast, simple rollout

Intuitive design makes setup and rollout a snap. Create unique policies by selecting appropriate MFA methods, choosing the enforcement date, and monitoring progress right from your dashboard.

Controls you need

Manage multiple policies, troubleshoot, and easily track enrollment right from Clever. Get added protection with the ability to designate safe networks and adaptively enforce MFA outside school settings. Plus, prevent help desk tickets with teacher troubleshooting tools to unblock access issues directly in the classroom.

“Getting staff onboard first was key to our successful rollout. That helped to encourage teachers to be creative with how they wanted to implement Clever Badges in the classroom.”

Computing Subject Lead, New Longton All Saints C of E Primary School, England

“Our big challenge: Balancing security with convenience. The secure method took up to 15 minutes to log in, cutting into learning time. Opting for convenience compromised security and lost valuable student progress data. Then we found Clever Badges to solve for both security and ease.”
