Does Boston University support 2FA?

bu.eduEducationNot yet

Boston University does not currently support authenticator-app (TOTP) two-factor authentication. Boston University does offer 2FA via SMS text message, phone call, a security key and its own app — better than nothing, but an authenticator app is the more secure option if Boston University adds it.

2FA methods Boston University supports

  • SMS text message
  • Phone call
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  • Proprietary app

Boston University does not offer an authenticator-app (TOTP) option yet. Authenticator apps are safer than SMS, so it's worth requesting.

How to keep your Boston University account secure

Use a long, unique password (a password manager helps), turn on any 2FA method Boston University offers, and stay alert to phishing. See Boston University's official security documentation ↗. If Boston University adds authenticator-app support, you'll be able to use MS Authenticator App.
