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 below for list of what systems will start requiring MFA on each date:
Tuesday, Jan. 4

- Touchnet
Wednesday, Jan. 5

You will be prompted for MFA weekly when accessing:

We strongly recommend setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app AND a backup MFA method prior to the Jan. 4 deadline. Instructions are provided below. NOTE: If you’re a faculty/staff member, you’ll need to continue using Duo MFA until the switch is made for all systems.

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.
