2 Factor Authentication
All students, faculty and staff are required to use 2-factor authentication for 1600grand and Google accounts. It’s easier than you think for someone to steal your password, 2-factor authentication can help keep cybercriminals out, even if they have your password. Securely log into an account with 2 things: 1) something you know (your password) and 2) something you have (your phone).
- Duo Mobile: 1600grand, VPN and other systems use Duo Mobile for 2nd factor authentication. Check out our Duo Mobile Setup Guide to get started.
- Google 2-Step Verification: New students, faculty and staff must enroll in Google 2-Step Verification before the grace period expires, otherwise your account will be locked. Follow the ENROLL prompt the first time you log into your Google account or get started with 2-Step Verification.
