Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Using 2FA helps secure your online identity and personal information, and protects FGCU's intellectual property and institutional data. FGCU has partnered with Duo Security to provide a two-factor authentication solution. The process includes your FGCU username and password (something you know), and a phone or tablet (something you have), to authenticate.
