Salt Lake Community College is committed to creating a safe and secure working and learning environment. That commitment extends to our digital accounts and information.  With these goals in mind, the College is introducing a new two-step login process for all employees to help protect College data from cyber attacks and phishing scams. This new login process provides an extra layer of security after requiring users to first log in with a username and password. Then you will use a second method of verifying your identity, which will require something you have access to, like your smart phone, tablet or a hardware token.

Two-factor authentication can prevent an attacker from accessing your account even if they have your username and password. Becaus...
