Sept. 18 deadline for multi-factor authentication enrollment

Sep 14, 2020

All UC ANR employees must be enrolled in UC ANR's DUO Multi-factor Authentication by Friday, Sept. 18, 2020. This is an additional enrollment specifically for UC ANR, which is separate from UC Davis DUO enrollment that happened few years back.

Increased cybersecurity threats make multi-factor authentication (MFA) essential for securing access to critical UC ANR systems.

Starting Monday, Sept. 21, 2020, MFA DUO will be required, and UC ANR personnel who have failed to enroll will not be able to access any single sign-on application through UC ANR. These applications include the UC ANR Portal and UCPath.

UC ANR personnel should already have received an invitation email from MFA DUO. For more information about enrolling in DUO, visit http://it.ucanr.edu/MFA-DUO/DUO_at_UC_ANR/. If you did not receive an enrollment invitation email from DUO, please contact help@ucanr.edu.

For those who already enrolled and requested physical tokens: Please note ANR IT will start shipping physical tokens this week to be ready for Sept. 21. Please submit a ticket to help@ucanr.edu with your home address if you are planning to use a token instead of your cellphone.

Thank you,
