Dear campus community,

In light of increasingly sophisticated attacks and the inadequacy of passwords alone as a cybersecurity defense, the university will widely implement two-factor authentication (2FA) for all graduate students, faculty, and staff this fall. To give everyone a chance to experience Duo 2FA as part of their normal daily routine, we invite you to pre-enroll now to see what the wider Duo 2FA experience looks like before it is required starting in October 2018.

Visit UIVerify https://verify.uillinois.edu/ to get more information about Duo 2FA or register for the first time.

Pre-enroll now to experience the wider Duo 2FA experience by completing the opt-in form at https://go.illinois.edu/2fa-optin

Duo 2FA will cover many services such as Office 365, Webmail, Illinois Compass, U of I Box and other important offerings. Please visit https://techservices.illinois.edu/content/2fa for more information about this program, the timeline, its importance to our mission, and what it may mean for you.

We understand that adding the two-factor authentication step will be a change. Thank you for contributing to the solution and helping to make the university more secure.

Sincerely,

Joe Barnes
Chief Privacy and Security Officer
Office of the CIO
