2-Step for All Students
Multi-Factor Authentication is required for all students.
Security is a top priority at UW Stout and all students are required to use Multi-Factor Authentication. Multi-Factor Authentication, also known as 2-Step Authentication enhances the security of your account by using a secondary device to verify your identity when logging into many of our Stout accounts. This prevents anyone but you from accessing your account, even if they know your password.

Microsoft Authenticator is being used for all applications at UW-Stout.
