Starting Jan. 4, when you log into 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. We will be rolling out MFA to systems on Jan. 4 and 5. See Multi-factor Authentication Project (FAQ) for a list of what systems will start requiring MFA on each date and how frequently you’ll need to re-authenticate.

We strongly recommend setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app AND a backup MFA method prior to the Jan. 4 deadline as the set up will require additional steps once myDrake requires MFA. NOTE: You’ll need to continue using Duo MFA until the switch is made for all systems you access.

• Getting Started with the Microsoft Authenticator app (How-to)
• Setting up Additional MFA Options or Changing your Default Option (How-to)

There are still a few $1 Starbucks coupons available to those who submit proof of downloading the Microsoft Authenticator app and connecting it with their Drake account. Visit forms.office.com/r/HGSY0L1JSf to see complete rules and enter.

If you experience any challenges setting up Microsoft Authenticator, please submit a Multi-Factor Authentication Issue.
