Microsoft Multifactor Authentication – Two-Step Authentication
USU has implemented the use of Microsoft Multifactor Authentication for all employees. This will send a notification every day to the MFA app which you will need on your smart phone; if you don’t have a smart phone, a notification will go to a key fobUSB Security Key that you will need to purchase from USU. The additional security step is an effective method to prevent unauthorized access to employee accounts and safeguard University data.
