Enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication

In order to better protect your ePass account and its access to your personal and institutional data, Information & Technology Services is implementing an additional security feature for employee accounts called multi-factor authentication. Many PLU web-based services and accounts that may have access to sensitive data are enabled to use multi-factor authentication. This means that in addition to providing your ePass username and password at the time of logging in, you will be required to provide another form of verification before you are allowed access. Most commonly, this additional step will be done via a notification sent to your mobile phone or another device in your possession. This added security feature makes it much more difficult for unauthorized users to access your account using stolen credentials, as it asks you to verify your login using a device only you possess. The added security is an increasingly important step in keeping your personal information and PLU’s institutional data secure. Note that to complete enrollment in multi-factor authentication at this time, you will need to have your mobile phone available.
