Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor (Two Factor) Authentication is required for William Paterson University VPN Access. If you have not signed up for Multi-Factor Authentication, please request access using the ticket type Account -> VPN Access.

Using VPN with Multi-Factor Authentication

1. After you have set up your account, you will continue to use the Cisco AnyConnect client as you have in the past.
2. When you provide your login credentials you will now be provided with a secondary authentication box. You can then either use an app on your android (or iphone) to generate a key OR type "push" in the secondary authentication box. Using "push" will send a notification to the app on your phone. (Using "sms" will initiate a text with an authentication key that will expire after one hour, or "phone" if you have signed up for a phone call.)
