This page is a work in progress, and covers a feature currently being tested/deployed

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a method of confirming a user's claimed identity in which a user is granted access only after successfully presenting 2 or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism. Valid factors include:

  • knowledge (something they and only they know)
  • possession (something they and only they have)
  • inherence (something they and only they are)

UMIACS Utilizes the Duo security platform to allow mobile devices to server as a second factor.
