Setting Up 2FA on a Device

Faculty, staff, and students enrolling in the two-factor authentication (2FA) service can choose to designate different devices as a second factor. A second factor is a device that you own that will be linked to your NetID. This article explains available options for the 2FA service.

Two-factor authentication enhances the security of your data by using two types of authentication – your NetID credentials and a second factor of your choice, such as a mobile phone, landline, tablet, or physical token. When you log in with your NetID credentials on an online service that requires 2FA, you will receive a request for authentication on a second device. When you respond to the authentication prompt, you verify your identity and intent to access the service.
