Multifactor Authentication (MFA) - Duo is coming!
Enroll by October 31, 2019
What is MFA? It’s a security enhancement that requires you to provide two pieces of evidence to log in. You’ve probably already used it if you’ve ever used:
- an ATM with a PIN (personal ID number)
- any website that sent a code to your phone before you got access to your account
Now the UW-Madison is joining the rest of the Big Ten universities in requiring MFA. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is requiring all students to enroll with MFA-Duo by October 31, 2019.
Students who do not enroll will be unable to access UW-Madison online data, which includes Canvas course websites, email, MyUW, library resources, etc.
MFA-Duo works through an app on a personal device or through a physical device called a fob. Visit Prove It’s You! Multi-Factor Authentication for Students for complete information and a helpful video showing you how to register for and use Duo, whether you choose to use the app or the fob. There is a very useful FAQ here.
DISTANCE STUDENTS: Students wishing to use the fob option who are distant from the UW-Madison campus can contact the DoIT Help Desk (phone, email, chat) and a fob will be mailed to you. The DoIT Help Desk is also your resource if you need help with any of this!
