Starting Jan. 4, when you login to one of the campus systems set up with multi-factor authentication (MFA), you will be prompted to verify your identity by using the Microsoft Authenticator app.

These systems will include:

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

To help you prepare, 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)

The first 150 people who submit proof of downloading the Microsoft Authenticator app and connecting it with their Drake account will receive a $1 off coupon to use at the campus Starbucks. Visit forms.office.com/r/HGSY0L1JSf to see complete rules and enter. Coupons are going quickly, so act soon.

Watch OnCampus for further updates as the Jan. 4 deadline approaches.
