Three Steps to Protect Your Confidential Information and Computing Assets
Enroll in Two-Step Verification
Two-Step Verification provides an added layer of protection when accessing PennKey-protected websites and applications. Step 1 is your PennKey and password, and Step 2 is using the Duo Mobile app, a Duo hardware fob, or a Security Key.
