Password Reset and Duo 2-Step Verification

Password Reset and Duo 2-Step Verification

Using DUO Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a key part of our campus cybersecurity program, helping to protect your personal information, academic records, and college systems from unauthorized access. By requiring a second form of verification—such as a push notification to your phone or a passcode—DUO adds an extra layer of security beyond your password. This significantly reduces the risk of identity theft, phishing attacks, and data breaches. Whether you’re a student accessing grades or a faculty member managing sensitive data, DUO helps ensure that only you can access your accounts, providing peace of mind and reinforcing a safer digital campus for everyone.
