At Caltech multi-factor authentication is already required for certain groups and applications and for new Caltech accounts. It is likely that you may already be familiar with MFA for handling personal accounts such as online banking, social media apps, Google, etc. Even if your password is compromised your account will remain secure. When you use MFA, you login using your username, password, and a third factor - either a smartphone app (Duo) or a hardware token. The goal of MFA is to create a layered defense that makes it more difficult for an unauthorized person to access your account. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security technology that requires multiple methods of authentication.
