What is two-factor authentication?

Two-factor authentication is a layer of security beyond your WVU username and password. When accessing secure WVU systems, you will have to confirm your identity using a smartphone and the Duo Mobile app. It’s easy, fast and keeps both personal and University information secure.

Visit ITS Student Resources to learn about setting up Duo two-factor authentication.
