Campus Technology Services (CTS) worked with the campus community this spring semester to add multi-factor authentication (MFA) to certain campus services including Blackboard, Zoom, Office 365, Adobe, Library databases, Administrative Banner and Spectrum U. MFA requires the use of your normal password along with a code sent to an app or phone.
MFA will expand to include more campus services based on the following schedule.
On June 13 at 8 a.m., some services being served to the campus by SUNY will start requiring MFA. They include: Degreeworks, SUNY Time and Attendance and SUNY business services. Brightspace, the new campus learning management system (LMS) replacing Blackboard for the fall 2022 semester and being piloted with some summer classes, will also be included.
On June 22 at 8 a.m., myOswego will start requiring MFA.
Anyone who currently uses MFA with existing services requiring it are all set. No further configuration of your account is needed. You will start being prompted for MFA with the above services according to the schedule.
Anyone that has not configured their account to use MFA should do so prior to June 13. If you do not you will be prompted to do so once you access one of the services being added. Follow this link to get started.
Note that once you use MFA with one browser-based service, you will not be asked for it again within the same browser per day.
Additional information is available on the MFA website.
