DUO Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (TFA) is an additional security method that Cedarville promotes in order to increase University account security for participating students, faculty, and staff.
The two-factor name describes the addition of a second layer of authentication applied to your account as described below:
- First Factor: Use your CedarNet username and password to log into your University accounts (e.g. myCU portal, email, Moodle).
- Second Factor: Confirm your identity from a landline, cell phone, tablet, or token (e.g. through a mobile app, call, text message, or generated code).
The article, Set Up and Use Two-Factor Authentication will provide information on how to setup and use this FREE additional security layer to your personal information.
