We have been using Two Factor Authentication (2FA) to enhance the security of our web apps (like Workday) for several years. This technology adds a layer of security by asking you to confirm your login attempt by authorizing access in a secondary device (usually you phone). This year, UW IT is expanding its use by making it the default login mechanism for all staff using any UW web app using SSO (Single Sign On). Most of our staff should already have this properly setup, but if you need to check some instructions, please visit theĀ 2FA opt-in page. To learn more about this technology, please visit this 2FA website.
