MySCAD Advanced Security Enhancements
Set up MySCAD/Duo Mobile multi-factor authentication by Tuesday, Nov. 1
SCAD provides advanced account security protection through the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) via Duo Security for all students, faculty, and staff. Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 1, Duo will no longer provide MFA authorization through phone calls or text message response. Before Nov. 1, all students, faculty, and staff must install the Duo Mobile app to utilize the push notification or one-time passcode MFA options to access their MySCAD account.
How do I activate Duo Mobile on a trusted device?
To activate Duo Mobile once installed, log into MySCAD and navigate to My Info tab > My Personal Info section. Select Manage MySCAD Security and add a new device or edit an existing one; this will generate a QR code to open the Duo Mobile app on your trusted device. Open the app, select Add, and scan the QR code generated by MySCAD.
