Why IAM?
- Create a flexible, equitable experience
- Safeguard university resources
- Be future-ready
Ensuring all members of the campus community have access to the right resources at the right time is a critical part of securing our campus and digital identities. Identity Access Management (IAM) enables students, faculty, and staff to access services and resources while safeguarding personal and university data.
What is two-step login?
Two-step login protects your account by double checking with you via a second device when you log in. UMass Amherst currently uses Microsoft two-step login for most services.
How does it work? When you log in to a two-step login enabled service, you will be prompted to finish logging in with any of the following methods you choose:
- Push notification or a passcode via an app on your mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.)
- Text message (SMS) to your mobile device.
- Phone call to your landline phone or mobile phone.
