Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) at RIT

RIT provides Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to selected information resources. All RIT faculty, staff, and students are affected.​

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that helps ensure that only you are able to access your accounts. Rather than just using a username and password, you provide a second factor to prove it really is you. For RIT accounts, that second factor is provided by Duo. The second factor may be a text message, a push notification on your phone, or a phone call.

MFA is currently required by RIT applications such as eServices, myCourses, myInfo, myLife and Peoplesoft. MFA is in the process of being rolled out to additional RIT applications.

​

Please contact the RIT Service Center at 585-475-5000 or visit help.rit.edu for any problems or questions about MFA and Duo.
