Two-step authentication enrollment + prizes

What is two-step? Is it a dance? A drum pattern?

It may be those things, but at Reed it’s also an additional layer of security beyond a username and password. Login credentials are more valuable than ever, and passwords are too easily compromised--guessed, phished, hacked, etc. Two-step authentication will help protect against unauthorized access to your account and data. It also helps prevent targeted phishing attacks against your fellow Reedies using your account!

Opt-in period for Staff & Faculty

Faculty and staff will soon receive an email inviting them to enroll in two-step. The opt-in period will last through November 26th. Those that haven’t enrolled by November 27th will be prompted to do so the next time they log in.

Training

CUS will hold regular drop-in sessions during the enrollment period. This is a great opportunity to get hands on assistance enrolling in two-step, see it in action, and get answers to your questions.
