A diocesan google account will also be assigned to you so you can sign in with Google. > *"Multi-factor authentication should always be used to provide additional protection  > to ... accounts that are accessible from the internet." -* **NCSC Cyber Essentials** [**Cademy.io**](https://cademy.io) is used to organise and manage diocesan events however signing in with a password does not provide adequate security to protect personal data because multi-factor authentication, also known as MFA or 2FA, is not available. We can however use our diocesan Google accounts to sign in instead which does provide MFA functionality. ### Sign into Cademy with your diocesan Google account **Warning:** A diocesan google account is required to sign into Cademy.
