(9/9/2021):
An error in which those who use MyHandai app on iOS could not login to the app because of a multi-factor authentication (MFA) error has been resolved with the release of Ver. 2.1.4. Your MFA information will be saved in the app, so now you can log in again and access your MFA code from within the app even if you tap the ログアウト (Logout) button. *However, if you logged out of Ver. 2.1.3 of the MyHandai app on iOS with your MFA information registered on the app, you will have to re-register your MFA information. Refer to this page to re-register for MFA. Once completed, a new verification code will be sent to your authenticator app. Note: You will either need an MFA temporary release code or you will need to log in while on campus.
