You're Protected with Duo Multifactor Authentication

Multifactor authentication, provided by Duo Security, adds another layer of security to your online accounts when using Pitt Passport. Two “factors” are required to verify your identity when you log in to a service. You'll need something you know (your password) and something only you have (such as your mobile phone, on which you will receive a login confirmation notice).

Kerberos Authentication

Kerberos is a protocol designed to allow secure authentication over a non-secure network. Pitt IT provides the Kerberos 5 realm UNIV.PITT.EDU to all University users for use in applications, logging on to workstations and servers, or any other service that supports Kerberos authentication. This can be used to authenticate any University of Pittsburgh user with an active University Computing Account.
