What Is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) at GMU?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Two-factor authentication (2FA) at GMU \u2063is an additional layer of security when\u2062 users log in \u2063to\u200d GMU accounts. It requires two pieces of \u200bevidence, or \u201cfactors,\u201d to \u200dverify one\u2019s identity. This extra security may sound intimidating,\u200d but\u200d it\u2019s actually \u200cquite\u2063 simple!<\/p>\n<p>First, users provide their username and password as \u2062they usually would. After that, they must \u200dgive \u200can \u2063extra verification code. This code is provided in one of two \u200cways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Text message<\/strong>: Users can have\u2064 an authorization code sent directly\u2063 to their smartphone as a\u200c text\u200d message<\/li>\n<li><strong>App<\/strong>: A secure authentication app, like Google \u2063Authenticator, can provide \u200cthe code<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the user provides the extra code, they\u2019re successfully logged into their GMU account. If\u200d for some\u2064 reason the \u200dcode isn\u2019t entered correctly, their account remains secure and they must \u200dtry again. All in all, two-factor authentication is a\u2064 simple, \u2064safe way to log in to GMU\u2064 accounts\u200d and \u2064protect users\u2019\u2062 data.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-why-is-two-factor-authentication-used-at-gmu\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Why_Is_Two-Factor_Authentication_Used_at_%E2%81%A3GMU\"><\/span>2. Why Is Two-Factor Authentication Used at \u2063GMU?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Two-factor\u200d authentication (2FA) is \u200da security measure used by George Mason\u2064 University to protect its users and their \u200baccounts from unwanted access. 2FA adds an \u2062additional layer\u2062 of security by \u200dsending a one-time password to users\u2019 \u200cemails or phones when they try to \u2063access\u200d their accounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2FA helps \u200bkeep private data and personal accounts safe. GMU implements this measure because it is far\u200b more secure and reliable than traditional passwords. With two-factor authentication, there is no worry of malicious hackers or other users gaining access to restricted data as two separate passwords\u200b \u2013 one acquired from the user\u2019s device\u200c and one sent through their device \u2013\u200b are required \u200cto\u2062 access a protected account. Here are some key \u2063benefits of 2FA at GMU:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enhanced security: 2FA adds an additional layer of protection, making it\u200b more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access to \u2064private information.<\/li>\n<li>Easier access control: Two-factor \u200bauthentication ensures \u2064that only authorized parties are given access to a restricted account.<\/li>\n<li>Lower risk of\u2063 stolen accounts: With 2FA, users can more easily reset \u2064their \u2063passwords if\u200d they have been lost or stolen.<\/li>\n<li>Easier recovery of lost data: 2FA ensures that a user\u2019s data remains \u200bsafe\u200b and secure, even if the account itself is\u200d lost or \u2063stolen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>GMU\u2019s two-factor\u200d authentication is an\u2062 important security measure that helps\u2064 protect student\u2064 and faculty data stored on \u200dthe school\u2019s servers.\u2062 Not only is it more secure than a traditional password, but it also helps ensure\u200c that only authorized users \u2062can access private data.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-how-does-2fa-keep-you-safe-at-gmu\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%E2%80%8CHow_Does_2FA%E2%81%A4_Keep_You_Safe_at_GMU\"><\/span>3. \u200cHow Does 2FA\u2064 Keep You Safe at GMU?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Target audience:\u200b University students.<\/p>\n<p><b>Use Strong\u200d Passwords and Backup Codes<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Two-factor \u200dauthentication (2FA) helps to\u2063 keep you safe at\u200c GMU by strengthening the security \u200cof your online accounts. It requires two pieces of evidence\u2014like your\u200b username and\u2064 a generated\u200c code, or a physical\u2062 device and your secret passcode\u2014in order to log \u2063into\u2062 your \u200baccount. This helps to protect your account from unauthorized access.<\/p>\n<p>To use 2FA, start by creating a \u2062strong password \u2062that is \u2063difficult to guess and easy for you to remember. You can also keep a written or \u200ddigital\u2062 copy of your\u2062 passwords and backup codes in case you ever need \u2064to access them in the future or if your device is \u2064lost or \u2064stolen. Then, set\u2063 up your 2FA device such as \u2063your \u200cmobile \u2063phone, a \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/logmeonce.com\/enterprise-password-management\/\">hardware token key<\/a>, or\u200c a\u200c biometric authentication app.\u2063 These devices are\u2062 used to generate one-time\u2063 codes\u200d which \u200byou then \u200center when prompted.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stay Vigilant\u2063 and Avoid Public Connections<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When using 2FA, always be mindful\u200b of suspicious\u2063 emails or messages. Phishing attacks try to persuade you\u200d to enter\u2062 your username and password into a <a title=\"2FA Gmu\" href=\"https:\/\/logmeonce.com\/resources\/2fa-gmu\/\">fake\u2064 login screen<\/a> in order to retrieve your 2FA code. Be\u200b especially wary of any requests to \u200benter\u200c your code via email or\u200d text message, as these \u200bare not secure.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, only use secure, closed Wi-Fi \u200bnetworks when possible. \u2064Connecting \u200dto\u2062 public Wi-Fi networks makes\u2062 it\u200b easier for malicious actors to intercept your data because they are not\u2064 encrypted like \u200cprivate ones. \u200bSo, avoid using open Wi-Fi hotspots for any sensitive activities that\u2064 involve usernames, passwords, or \u2062two-factor authentication codes.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, always \u2062keep your\u200d 2FA device updated with the latest security patches to ensure that it remains secure. With these \u200cprecautions in place, you can be sure that 2FA \u200bwill keep your account safe at GMU.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-make-your-gmu-account-more-secure-with-2fa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Make_%E2%80%8CYour_GMU_%E2%81%A4Account_%E2%80%8DMore_Secure%E2%80%8B_with_2FA\"><\/span>4.
