Protecting your CUHK account with 2FA

To protect your CUHK account and comply with the University’s policy, all CUHK accounts must use DUO 2FA in addition to account password to provide extra protection.  This requirement enhances the security of your account against unauthorized access. 

Why 2FA is important?

Implementing two-factor authentication (2FA) has become crucial in securing online logins.  As a username-password combination only is  more susceptible to hacking or theft, a second factor, generated specifically for the user at a specific time, serves as an additional credential to protect account security.  At CUHK, users have the option of either installing the DUO 2FA application on their mobile phone or purchasing a hardware token for generating the second factor key.

Where can I get 2FA information?
