psu.eduEducationNot yet

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

2FA methods Pennsylvania State University supports

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

Pennsylvania State 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 Pennsylvania State University account secure

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