**IMPORTANT: PLEASE CHOOSE A STRONG PASSWORD FOR YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT**
## NEW: Multi-Factor Authentication
[![img](https://linux.ucla.edu/mediawiki/images/thumb/3/34/Image.png/300px-Image.png)](https://linux.ucla.edu/mediawiki/index.php/File:Image.png)
The University is mandating that multi-factor authentication (MFA) be enabled for all email accounts by **May 1, 2025**. Specifically, we are using [Cisco Duo](https://duo.com/docs/duounix) as our MFA service, to be consistent with MyUCLA, UCLA Google Apps, and the UCLA Campus VPN.
Some hacking attempts on our email server
Your cooperation is **required** because you will eventually have to manually enroll your mobile device over SSH. If you fail to respond by the deadline, we will be forced to close your email account.
No immediate action is required, because we are still waiting on the CS department to get in touch with Cisco and host their own Duo server. That being said, you must check your email inbox (or this page) regularly for future updates.
**For non-UCLA students**: Please install the Duo app on your mobile device ([iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/duo-mobile/id422663827), [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duosecurity.duomobile&hl=en-US&pli=1)) at your earliest convenience if you haven't already.
**WE GET SEVERAL BRUTE FORCE ATTEMPTS EVERY DAY. IF THE HACKERS GET IN TO YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT THEY WILL SEND SPAM AND THE CS DEPARTMENT WILL GET MAD AT US.** **Please use a secure password, otherwise we might have to restrict access to only people on the UCLA VPN.**
