Self-enrol in Duo MFAhttps://umanitoba.ca/multi-factor-authentication#getting-started today to avoid any disruption in your access to applications.
What happens after my account is automatically enrolled in Duo MFA on May 4? If you self-enrolled prior to May 4:
* There will be no change.
If you did not self-enrol prior to May 4:
* You will be prompted to "add your device" or second method of authentication the first time you open a Microsoft 365 application or attempt to log in to UM Intranet or UM Zoom.
