In November 2022 HCPSS provided all staff the ability to enroll in multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA is a security measure that requires users to enter multiple sources of authentication before being granted access to their account.
Voluntary enrollment is currently ongoing and will transition to mandatory enrollment in the near future.
- Voluntary Enrollment (In progress) – Voluntary enrollment provides time to become familiar with the authentication process and help minimize any disruptions to staff member’s daily workflow.
- Mandatory Enrollment (Coming soon) – Once mandatory enrollment is enforced, supervisors will be notified of staff that are out of compliance and access to some HCPSS systems may become restricted.
In the coming weeks guidance will be published that highlights the date when MFA enrollment will become mandatory. During this mandatory phase, staff may receive an increase in alerts and communications highlighting the requirement to enroll in MFA.
! Call to Action ! Learn more about Duo MFA on the Technology Resources Canvas community and start using the new system today. During the process, staff who are currently using MFA via Microsoft Authenticator will be able to discontinue its use.
