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.
Passwords
alone are no longer sufficient to protect our accounts. It is easier than you
may think for an attacker to get access to your password. Hackers have
many different methods of capturing usernames and passwords. Two-factor
authentication can prevent an attacker from accessing your account even if they
have your username and password.
Because
this new two-factor authentication login process will make our accounts safer,
SLCC employees will not have to change their password for at least a year.
I have no phd (portable hardware device: i.e. cell phone, i-pad, etc.), so I haven't found away to log onto the 2-factor authentication.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting in touch, and apologies for the delay! While enabling two-factor authorization is the required method for most, you can request a hard token exception if you don't have a device. More information on this is available here: https://slcc.service-now.com/help/DUO_2FA.do
