This is the case even though you may have already been assigned a NUS-ID and email address, and are able to log in to other NUS systems.
Enrolment in 2FA or Workspace ONE
Before logging in, please ensure you have enrolled in 2FA or the device you are accessing Canvas from is enrolled in Workspace ONE.
