Two-Factor authentication adds an additional layer of protection to your accounts and the data you access through them. With two-factor authentication, you can ensure that all your data remains safe, even if your password is compromised. Two-factor authentication is the most effective way of protecting both your credentials and the resources you access with those credentials. The first factor is your Passport York password, and the second factor is a push notification, a code or call sent to your cellphone or a physical security key inserted into your computer.
Think of your first factor as the lock on the front door of your house and the second factor as the door's deadbolt. Two-factor, two-step, or multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security process that requires you to use two different authentication factors (methods) to verify your login. If you have multiple accounts and want to use the same authentication device, please read this FAQ. Enable the 30-day 'Remember Me' option by checking the box at login time to reduce how often 2FA is required on a particular trusted device. Duo and Touch ID can only be used for web-based logins and will only work in Google Chrome 70 or later.
Do NOT delete the Duo Mobile app after completing the 2FA Setup.
