Multi-Factor Authentication

UMW is leveraging two applications to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to a variety of applications.  We leverage Microsoft Authenticator and Cisco Duo.

We employ Microsoft Authenticator to help secure our Microsoft 365 environment.  This includes email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and other Microsoft web applications.  For information on setting up Microsoft Authenticator to protect your account, click here.

UMW is working to configure Duo as part of faculty and staff authentication for web applications using Single Sign-On (SSO).  This includes Banner.  We are also using Duo as part of authentication for VPN connections.  For more information on Duo, click here.
