UTORMFA

Product overview - Free business icons   Overview and Key Features:

UTORMFA is the University of Toronto’s multi-factor authentication solution. It verifies your identity using a second factor, like a mobile device or hardware token, to ensure that only you can log in to your account. Users must self-enrol in UTORMFA to access University web services, such as academic course selection.

All students, staff and faculty must enrol in DUO multi-factor authentication in order to access University web systems. Online self-enrolment takes 5-10 minutes and requires you to have a smartphone nearby with an active phone number.
