JumpCloud for employees: User Portal, MFA and your password
For everyone whose work computer, apps or Wi-Fi sign-in runs through JumpCloud. Log in to the User Portal, open your apps and request access to new ones. Set up JumpCloud Protect for push and verification codes, use security keys, device authenticators and JumpCloud Go, and sign in to your computer with MFA. Change your JumpCloud password the right way so it reaches your computer and apps, deal with expiry and lockouts, and know what to do with a push you didn't start or a new phone.
