Multi-Factor Authentication

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
MFA is an authentication method used to confirm your identity to allow access to a website or app through at least two pieces of evidence. The two pieces of evidence needed for CUSD staff will be a password and a mobile phone number where a security code can be sent. With MFA incorporating something you know (password) PLUS something you have (mobile phone), the likelihood that your account can be compromised is greatly reduced. This makes YOUR students safer. This makes YOUR District safer. This makes YOU safer.
 
When will I be required to authenticate using MFA? 
MFA will be required to access the following services while outside the District network or while on a personal device:
  • VPN - Web VPN & FortiClient
  • Office 365
  • Webmail
  • Google
  • Canvas
  • TrueNorth Logic
  • Clever
  • Hoonuit
  • Zoom
  • SchoolDude
  • Caponet
 
MFA Registration
In order to be registered for MFA your account must be registered in the Self-Service Password Recovery (SSPR) with a mobile phone number. See the SSPR section below for more information.

Self Service Password Recovery (SSPR)

The SSPR allows staff to easily recover a forgotten password. It requires you to first REGISTER your account and associated information (mobile phone number, alternate email address or verification questions). Once registered, you will be able to use SSPR to change a forgotten password or update to a new password. 
 
New users will be automatically prompted to register in the SSPR when loggin in for the first time.

Best Practices for Password Management

Don’t use the same password across multiple websites.
 
Don't write your passwords down, share them with anyone or let anyone see you log into devices or websites.
 
Log out of websites and devices when you are finished using them.
 
Here are three simple ways to construct a secure, easy to remember passphrase:
 
Create a passphrase by taking a short phrase and:
      • Change the capitalization of some of the letters
      • Replace some of the letters with numerical and symbolic substitutions ($ for S, 8 for B)
      • Misspell or abbreviate some words (E.g., the phrase “Dunkin’ Donuts is great for summer” becomes “Dunkisgr84$umm3R”.)
 
Choose several shorter words and add some numbers in the center, then change the capitalization and substitute symbols for letters. (E.g., the phrase “books 930 Pleasant” becomes “b00K$930PL3^S^n+”.)
 
Choose a memorable quote or phrase and use only the first letter from each word. Vary the capitalization. Also include numbers and symbols, either as substitutions for letters or as a replacement for a full word. (E.g. Albert Einstein’s quote Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”  becomes “2TrI:tU&h$;&Ins@tU”.)
