Don't forget to set up more than one MFA authentication method for your Single Sign-On! If your phone is your only method and is lost, replaced or stolen, you could temporarily lose access to your account. Guides here: https://help.it.ox.ac.uk/mfa-setup-and-management
Key thing is to make sure you have a backup MFA method. If you are old enough to still have a landline then registering this is a good idea. https://twitter.com/ITBrasenose/status/1471431860836315137
