This policy applies to all members of the Rowan community who use Rowan services that are protected by Duo two-factor authentication. A list of Rowan services currently protected by Duo is available at go.rowan.edu/duoapplications.
IV. DEFINITIONS
- For the purposes of this document, members of the Rowan community are classified in one of two groups:
- Employees are defined as individuals that are active employees of the institution. This also includes sponsored employee-like affiliates such as members of the University community who may work for an external vendor or have a contract or other agreement with the University that requires them to access University systems.
- Students are defined as individuals enrolled in Rowan courses or degree programs. This also includes sponsored student-like affiliates such as Rowan Choice.
- Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to a Rowan Network Account. Some services and websites refer to this second layer of security as two-factor authentication, 2FA, two-step authentication, two-step verification, or login verification. This second form of authentication helps to prevent unauthorized users from accessing an account, even if the password is compromised.
- The Duo Mobile app is available for phones and cellular capable devices, both Apple and Android. It is available for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. It allows the user to say “Yes” or “No” to any attempted login and thereby provides a second factor of authorization to services protected by two-factor authentication.
- A phone is a device capable of receiving phone calls or text messages. It allows the Duo system to contact a user by voice or text message in order to ask them to agree to any attempted login and thereby provides a second factor of authorization to services protected by two-factor authentication.
- A hardware token is a small device that can generate a passcode that can be used as a second factor of authorization to services protected by two-factor authentication.
