Required Technologies

Duo: Dual-Authentication set up

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), also known as two-step or 2-factor authentication, adds a second layer of protection to your UH account in addition to your cougarnet ID and password. It adds something you have (a MFA device) to something you know (a password) to verify it is you and grant you access. This extra layer prevents anyone but you from logging in to your account, even if they know your password.

Duo, a program that intends to protect a user’s data by requiring users to log in to websites like Canvas and Microsoft office 365/Adobe/zoom access using both a password and an alternate device, is mandatory for students by the University.

Canvas
