Augusta University uses Duo two-factor authentication for added security.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the simplest, most effective way to ensure users really are who they say they are. MFA is required when accessing AU systems, applications, and devices. 

MFA requires more than one method to authenticate into a system successfully.  The most common methods are something you know (i.e., a password) and something you have (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, or token authenticator), applying a second layer of security to your account.

Passwords are essential for security and privacy, but a second layer of protection is needed because passwords can be stolen, guessed, or hacked. With Duo, a successfully compromised password cannot access an account or system. The second-factor authentication provides staff, faculty, and students a second barrier to prevent account compromise.
