Recent phishing and spam emails have sparked OU Information Technology to step up their security.

I.T now requires multi-factor authentication for accessing all Office 365 accounts.

Students and faculty will need to register a device through an app called Duo when accessing these sites off campus.

Duo sends verification by a phone call, push notification or passcode.

The purpose is to provide better security all around.

Those having trouble with getting their email set up with duo can contact OU Information Technology for assistance.
