Starting on Jan. 4, when you login to a campus system set up with multi-factor authentication, you will be prompted to prove that you are the person logging in by using the Microsoft Authenticator app to verify your identity.

These systems will include:

• Self Service (includes Employee Dashboard and Personal Information screens)
• Blackboard
• myDrake
• Online versions of Microsoft Office programs

To help you prepare for this change, we’ve created a FAQ and knowledge base guides linked below:

• Multi-factor Authentication Project (FAQ)
• Getting Started with the Microsoft Authenticator app (How-to)
• Setting up Additional Multi-Factor Authentication Options (How-to)

We’re offering an incentive to the first 150 people who submit proof of downloading the Microsoft Authenticator app and connecting it with their Drake account. They will receive a $1 off coupon to use at the campus Starbucks. One coupon per person, and a screenshot of your phone is required. Visit forms.office.com/r/HGSY0L1JSf to enter and see complete rules.

Watch OnCampus for more updates as the January deadline approaches.
