MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (MFA)

Coming Soon: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is coming to CSUDH and will be required on all CSUDH student, faculty, and staff accounts.

What is MFA?

CSUDH uses the Duo multi-factor authentication (MFA) app to verify students, faculty, and staff's identities when they log-in to any web-based technology service that requires a CSUDH username and password. You may already be using this type of authentication service with your bank or other accounts.

How does MFA work?

Duo (the app) authenticates users' identities in two ways—with something YOU KNOW (username and password) and something YOU HAVE (in CSUDH’s case, a mobile device or token). MFA, also referred to as two-step verification or two-factor authentication (2FA), adds another layer of protection to sensitive information, making it much more difficult for unauthorized people to gain access.

What do I need to do?

At this time, nothing. Further information will shared in the coming months.
