In July we notified the campus of our plans to disable SMS text and call options for Duo, our two factor authentication system.  A copy of that message is below.   We are doing this because SMS text and call options are less secure than using the mobile app or a hardware token, and that situation has worsened over time. \u201cKits\u201d are now readily available to cyber criminals that allow them to hijack your phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Tuesday October 10, 2023 SMS and call authentication will not work for Duo.  Please take action now and either install the mobile app on your phone or contact the Help Desk to obtain a hardware token. (see instructions in the message below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognize that changes like this can be inconvenient and disruptive but we all have to work to protect our own data as well as HMC\u2019s data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please download and set up the Duo mobile app before the October 10 deadline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are instructions to set up the Duo Mobile app at HMC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
