Overview
If a cell phone is not an option for your multifactor device and using your desk phone isn't possible because you work from multiple locations, we have USB security keys available. For university employees there will be a small one-time fee charged to your department (with your financial manager's approval). Non-employees can make their payment to the Bursar's Office. More information on obtaining a security key can be found here. If you are interested in this option, please contact the IT Help Desk for more information.
