    Why you should use 2FA for Michigan State University?

    Michigan State University is a great place to learn and grow, but it's also important to keep your personal information safe. That's why we recommend enabling 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your MSU account. 
     
    
     2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a second form of verification in addition to your password. This can be a code sent to your phone or email, or even a biometric scan. By enabling 2FA, you greatly reduce the risk of someone accessing your account without your permission. 
     
    
     At MSU, they take security seriously. They use Duo Security as their 2FA provider, which is a trusted and reliable service. Duo Security also offers additional features such as device management and access policies to further enhance your security. 
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other steps you can take to protect your personal information. Make sure to use a strong and unique password, and never share it with anyone. Be cautious of phishing scams and only enter your login information on official MSU websites. 
     
    
     By taking these steps, you can ensure that your personal information remains safe and secure while you focus on your education and personal growth at Michigan State University.
