TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA) WILL SOON BE REQUIRED FOR CAS, SOME OTHER IT SERVICES
2FA provides an extra layer of security by requiring a second authentication method—one that isn’t your password—to confirm a user’s identity. The second method is something a user has physical access to, like a cellphone or tablet. This ensures that even if a hacker manages to obtain a user’s login credentials, the information is useless without access to the user’s secondary device.
When the date for 2FA enforcement is finalized, further campus-wide communication will be forthcoming.
Further information is online at it.utah.edu/2fa.
