MFA Required When Using SSO Applications Remotely
Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all applications that use Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality, including all Microsoft applications (e.g., Outlook for email) when accessed from off-campus.
MFA is currently required when logging into Workday, Salesforce, or resetting WPI passwords, on-campus or off-campus. As of Wednesday, June 17, 2020, MFA will be required for all Microsoft applications, including Outlook for email, and all SSO applications accessed from off-campus locations. (Students are already required to use MFA for these applications from off-campus.)
Examples of SSO applications include Workday, WPI Portal, Office 365 Suite, and Canvas. You will be prompted once for MFA during a session. For example, if you log into MFA to use email, when you go to Workday or Canvas, you will not be prompted again.
For mobile apps, there may be a one-time MFA login for native iOS and Android clients.
