Beginning Sept. 15, CU System Administration users will need to authenticate their identity to log in to the VPN. This added step will decrease the likelihood that outside parties can gain access to your data, even if they have or guess your password.

Identity authentication is an active option to access the VPN throughout July but will soon be a requirement for all users. To prepare for this additional step, the Service Desk recommends that users download the Duo Mobile app to make the two-factor authentication process faster and simpler.

The Service Desk will host two webinar sessions to walk users through this change.
