What is Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?
2FA dramatically improves the security of your data. 2FA requires you know something - like a password or account and you have something - like a cell phone.
About Two-Factor Authentication
Important Dates &
Information
- August 17, 2020
all students, faculty and staff will be enrolled in 2FA on AccessUH - When will I be prompted for 2FA?
When you log in for the first time with a new browser or device you will use 2FA to confirm that it is you. After that, you will not need to use 2FA to confirm your identity on that browser again for 30 days
2FA (two-factor authentication): an additional layer of authentication beyond a username and password. 2FA involves something you know (password) plus something you have with you (like Duo Mobile on your smartphone) to prevent someone from logging in with only your password. With Duo 2FA, you still enter your username and password. The second factor provided by Duo is simply an added layer of security on top of your existing credentials.
