2-Step Authentication at CPP

2-Step Authentication

Protect your Cal Poly Pomona account security by installing 2-Step Authentication, which will verify your identity before allowing access to campus applications or computer systems. The CSU and Cal Poly Pomona are using the DUO application for the 2-Step Authentication process, also known as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). We recommend you download the app* and secure your account today!

IT will have staff available to answer questions during BAC e-Student Services hours on Thursdays from 9:30-10:30 a.m.

*The following steps require use of you own smartphone device. If you are not comfortable using your own device a hardware token can be requested by contacting the IT Service Desk.
