2-Step Login
Two-Step Login provides an additional layer of security when you log into systems that contain sensitive data. Two-Step Login, also known as Multi-Factor Authentication, helps protect sensitive data and guard against increasingly sophisticated email and online scams (e.g., phishing attacks) that can leave you vulnerable to identity theft. Like similar services offered by Google, Apple and Facebook, you log in by entering your username and passphrase and then confirm your login with an enrolled device, such as your smartphone.
Adjunct Instructor Pool
The Adjunct Instructor Pool application form is the online tool for submitting application materials for the University of Wisconsin-Stout's adjunct instructor pool. People submit applications to be considered for a teaching position through UW-Stout Online.
The Adjunct Instructor Pool does NOT use campus credentials; applicants create a username and password and provide an email address. An email is sent to that address and the user must click to verify and activate their login information prior to being able to log in.

Domain
The term domain can refer either to a local subnetwork or to descriptors for sites on the Internet (e.g., www.uwstout.edu). On the Internet, a domain is part of every network address, including website addresses, email addresses, and addresses for other Internet protocols.
A domain is a sub network made up of a group of clients and servers under the control of one central security database. Within a domain, users authenticate once to a centralized server known as a domain controller, rather than repeatedly authenticating to individual servers and services. Individual servers and services accept the user based on the approval of the domain controller.
Domain User
A domain user is one whose username and password are stored on a domain controller rather than the computer the user is logging into. When you log in as a domain user, the computer asks the domain controller what privileges are assigned to you. When the computer receives an appropriate response from the domain controller, it logs you in with the proper permissions and restrictions.

Local User Account
In Windows, a local computer user is one whose username and encrypted password are stored on the computer itself. When you log in as a local user, the computer checks its own list of users and its own password file to see if you are allowed to log into the computer. The computer itself then applies all the permissions (e.g., "can use the CD-ROM", "can install programs") and restrictions (e.g., "cannot install programs") that are assigned to you for that computer.
Multifactor Authentication/MFA (2-Step)
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security system that requires more than one method of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify the user's identity for a login or other transaction.
