Why you should use 2FA for Cal Poly?

Cal Poly is a great platform for students and faculty alike. However, with the rise of cyber attacks, it's important to take extra precautions to protect your account. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in. By enabling 2FA, you add an extra layer of security to your account, making it much harder for hackers to gain access.
 

 With our Authenticator app, enabling 2FA is easy. Simply download the app and follow the instructions to set it up. Once enabled, you'll be prompted to enter a code from the app every time you log in to your Cal Poly account. This code changes every 30 seconds, making it virtually impossible for anyone to access your account without your permission.
 

 In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other steps you can take to protect your account. Make sure to use a strong, unique password and never share it with anyone. Avoid using public Wi-Fi when accessing your account, as these networks are often unsecured and can be easily hacked. And always be on the lookout for phishing scams, which can trick you into giving away your login credentials.
 

 At Authenticator, we take security and privacy very seriously. Our app uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data, and we never share your information with third parties. With our app and 2FA enabled, you can rest easy knowing that your Cal Poly account is safe and secure.
