Enrolling and Using Campus Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi-Factor Authentication, aka MFA, combines something you know (password) with something you have (see Equipment Options). Using two factors, instead of one, greatly increases security and protects your account.
MFA is mandatory for all UCLA faculty, staff, and student employees beginning October 31, 2017.

How do I activate my Duo Token? 1) Enroll in MFA by filling out an online form: https://my.logon.ucla.edu. Initially enroll using a smartphone, cellphone, tablet or work landline. You will change this to Duo Hardware Token in the next step. 2) Activate your Duo Hardware Token by filling out a second online form: https://www.bol.ucla.edu/shib/mfa-duotoken/ The BOL Helpdesk completes the process behind the scenes. Your Duo Token Generator is activated within a few days. You will be notified via email. --OR-- If you want to activate your Duo Token right away, skip the online form and simply head to the BruinOnLine office located in Kerckhoff Hall, Suite 124. You need to bring with you 2 things:
No need for an appointment, walk up to the desk and let the technician know that you would like to activate your Multi-factor authentication Duo Hardware Token. The BOL technician will walk you through the rest of the activation steps. |
