Overview
Penn State University is transitioning from Duo to Microsoft Multifactor authentication (MFA). Multifactor authentication (MFA) adds a layer of protection to the sign-in process. When accessing accounts or apps, users provide additional identity verification, such as scanning a fingerprint or entering a code received by phone.

Yubico Keys
Yubico Keys are the supported physical key for MFA but are not necessary for authentication. These will replace the DUO tokens as necessary. Yubico keys can be purchased from the Penn State University Software store:
