Two Step Verification for Office 365

May 16, 2019

We are pleased to announce that two-step verification for Office365 will soon be available to protect your email, OneDrive and other Office365 resources.  This is the same security that currently protects your direct deposits and benefits through HarvardKey.

Why the change?

In the past six months, over 230 email accounts were compromised by cyber criminals, who initiated various fraudulent actions.  In most cases, the email account’s owner experienced substantial downtime.

Implementing two step verification will protect all of your Office365 data, including your email and files.

What do I need to do?

Your local IT Support organization will be reaching out to you soon; be sure to follow their instructions.  In the meantime, you can find out more information here.
