Summer of 2019 Graceland moved employees 2-Step Verification for Office 365.
Starting Fall of 2019 Graceland is moving all personal "Sting" accounts to 2-Step Verification for Office 365 (this includes your email) for employees, students, and alumni.
Why?
In late September of 2019 Graceland experienced a sharp inscrease in the number of compromised Sting accounts. In Sping of 2019 Graceland was the target of multiple successful attacks against Employee accounts. We will be implementing more security options for your Office 365 accounts to help prevent unauthorized access. One of those options will be 2-Step Verification.
How it will work?
When you log into Office 365 (through the Web, Computer, or Phone) you'll put in your username and password like normal. You will then be prompted for a second verification. That will be one of the following: a phone call, a text message, a confirmation press on a mobile device, or a random 6 digit code you'll enter from an authenticator app. The videos below give you an overview of how each of these options work. They are just around a minute each, so feel free to watch them all. You'll get to choose which of these you want available to use when you set up your 2-step verification and can change them.
