CSU Multi-Factor Authentication is here!

CSU Multi-Factor Authentication is here!

Beginning Tuesday, April 18, 2023, IS&T began requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) for patrons logging in to CSU's Single Sign-On from off-campus. MFA is an essential security feature that will heighten CSU's security and help protect your account credentials and online identity.

This affects users of Library systems that require Single Sign-On logins from off-campus, including interlibrary loan and access to research databases and other secure online collections.  Students, faculty and staff who use these systems from off-campus need to enroll their phone or other mobile device in MFA, then enter a special code sent to that device to verify their identity when logging in.  Options exist for smartphones, tablets, and basic phones.
