Why you should use 2FA for uOttawa?

If you're a student or staff member at uOttawa, you should definitely enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account. With 2FA, you'll need to enter a code from your Authenticator app in addition to your password when logging in. This means that even if someone manages to steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without the code.
 

 uOttawa takes security seriously, and that's why they offer 2FA as an option for all users. By enabling 2FA, you're helping to keep your personal information and academic records safe from hackers and other malicious actors.
 

 When using our Authenticator app with uOttawa, you can rest assured that your 2FA codes are stored securely on your device. We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data, and we never store your codes on our servers.
 

 To further enhance your security and privacy, we recommend that you use a strong, unique password for your uOttawa account and enable 2FA on any other accounts that support it. You should also be cautious about clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources, as these can be used to install malware on your device.
 

 Overall, enabling 2FA is a simple but effective way to protect your online accounts. By taking this extra step, you can help to ensure that your personal information stays private and secure.
