Information Technology Policy Manual

Two-Step Verification

Two-Step Verification

Two-Step Verification, also known as Multi-factor Authentication, is an extra layer of security to help protect your NAU account from unauthorized access. When logging in to any of NAU’s supported systems with your NAU User ID and password, you will be asked for a secondary confirmation. This secondary form of authentication could be a push notification to your phone or a bypass, fob, backup or mobile app code and provides an additional level of verification when logging into NAU systems.

Why Two-Step Verification?

Two-Step Verification helps improve the security of NAU’s most important data by providing an additional layer of authentication to payroll, student and financial data, and other critical information at the university. By having a secondary form of authentication, you can protect your account from unauthorized access if your password is ever compromised. Attackers attempt to get your password in many ways including guessing, phishing, and smishing attacks. They also look for reused passwords from other sites that may have been exposed in a security event. By having Two-Step Verification enabled for your account, if your password is ever exposed, access to your account and NAU data will be prevented.
