In an effort to increase the security of your personal identity and data, as well as the university's data, all UNL students, faculty and staff will be required to use Two-Factor Authentication by Duo beginning May 16.
Two-Factor will be required to access web-based university services, such as Canvas, Box, MyRed and email. If you have not registered for Two-Factor by May 16, you will be prompted to enroll your Two-Factor device the next time you try to access these web-based services.
Why wait until May to protect your accounts? Enroll in Two-Factor today at trueyou.nebraska.edu.
Why is this being done?
- Cyberattacks targeting our faculty, staff, and students are an ongoing threat and we've had a significant number of victims within our university community.
- In 2018, 81% of cyberattacks were executed by taking advantage of weak or stolen passwords.
- Two-Factor Authentication is the best way to mitigate attacks on weak or stolen passwords.
How do I use Two-Factor Authentication?
- Visit https://trueyou.nebraska.edu/ to enroll.
- You can use Two-Factor in a number of ways. Choose the authentication method that is most convenient for you on the device of your choice.
- After you’ve entered your credentials, a second factor of authentication will be sent to you by whichever method you chose during your Two-Factor enrollment.
- After approving the second factor, you’ll be logged in.
- The university’s Two-Factor Authentication is provided by Duo. So, if you're already using the Duo app to log in to your services, that means you're already enrolled in Two-Factor.
