Why you should use 2FA for Purdue University?

Purdue University is a leading educational institution that offers a wide range of courses and programs to students. As a student or faculty member, you have access to a lot of sensitive information that needs to be protected from hackers and cybercriminals. That's why it's important to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your Purdue account.
 

 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a second form of authentication in addition to your password. This could be a code sent to your phone or a biometric scan, such as a fingerprint. By enabling 2FA, you can ensure that only you have access to your account, even if someone else manages to guess your password.
 

 At Purdue, you can enable 2FA through the Duo Security app. This app is easy to use and provides an additional layer of security to your account. With Duo Security, you can rest assured that your account is protected from unauthorized access.
 

 In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other security and privacy tips that you should follow to keep your Purdue account safe. For example, you should never share your password with anyone, and you should always log out of your account when you're finished using it. You should also be wary of phishing scams and other attempts to steal your personal information.
 

 By following these tips and enabling 2FA, you can ensure that your Purdue account is secure and protected from cyber threats. So don't wait any longer – take the necessary steps to protect your account today!
