environment and help safeguard York and the community's information security and privacy. Two-factor, two-step, or multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security process that requires you to use two different authentication factors (methods) to verify your login. Think of your first factor as the lock on the front door of your house and the second factor as the door's deadbolt. The first factor is your Passport York password, and the second factor is a push notification, a code or call sent to your cellphone or a physical security key inserted into your computer. Two-factor authentication is the most effective way to protect both your credentials and the resources you access with them. With two-factor authentication, you can ensure that all your data remains safe, even if your password is compromised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#e31837\">How do I Access it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UIT recommends using your smartphone with the Duo app for ease of use and best experience.
