English @ SUNY Geneseo requires all members to set up two-factor authentication (2FA) after registration.
Currently, users have a 75-day grace period to set up 2FA. But it’s best not to wait. If you’re blocked from logging in because you’ve exceeded the grace period, and you have a due date looming, there is no guarantee that you’ll be able to get your grace period extended before the due date. It’s best to take care of setting up 2FA ASAP!
To get started, join a group
You can’t set up 2FA on English @ SUNY Geneseo until you’ve joined a group. If your instructor has asked you to join the network, it’s probably so that you can join American Studies, Reader and Text, or another group with an associated blog. Most of these groups are public, so joining is as simple as going to the group’s main page and clicking “Join group”.
If you run into difficulty or find yourself locked out, please email contact-at-sunygeneseoenglish-dot-org
- Go the dashboard of the blog associated with your group and look for “Login security” to set up 2FA. For example, the blog associated with American Studies is (Im)possibilities. (There’s a link to the group’s blog on the group’s main page.)
- Be sure to download your backup codes! Keep them somewhere safe. You can use each code once to log in if you don’t have your authenticator app handy, and you can generate and download more codes any time.
The video below explains how to set up 2FA. Although its intended audience is site administrators, the process for site members is almost identical.
