[FRIAM] MultiFactorAuthentication--YIKES!

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

Hi, Steve, 

 

We have an old clamshell which we use for emergencies.  That's about it.  

 

Thanks for your help.  We'll see what happens tomorrow when clark makes the
switch.

Hi, All, I apologize for this blast.  Clark University (through which I get
a lot of my mail) is moving to MFA and seems to insist that I have a smart
phone to activate it.  Please use the google address if you want to email
me.  Don't forget the "2". 

Nick -

Are you sure it requires a Smart phone?  Most of the 2 factor systems I have
to deal with only need to send me a code via SMS (txt).   Does this mean you
don't even have a mobile that receives txt messages?  Maybe Clark's
instructions are not as crisp on that point as they could be?   Or do they
actually use an *App* to facilitate the MFA?
