Multi-factor authentication

When it comes to IT security, the login procedure for IT services plays a key role in protecting against data theft and security attacks. The current login to JMU IT services, which is based on the classic combination of login name and password, no longer offers sufficient protection in times of cybercrime.

For this reason, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is gradually being introduced at JMU. Shibboleth/WueLogin will be the first procedure to be converted to MFA.

In addition to your login name and password, MFA requires authentication via an additional security factor that you have previously set up.
