CCIT is expanding two-factor authentication (2FA) to Microsoft 365 applications. As of Thursday, April 2, 2026, apps like Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel may now prompt users to authenticate with two-factor authentication (2FA) after logging in with a Clemson username and password. This change is part of an ongoing effort to better protect Clemson accounts, personal information and systems from unauthorized access.
Two-factor authentication methods like Duo Mobile are already widely used across many Clemson services, so most users should be familiar with this process. Expanding 2FA to more applications helps provide consistent, reliable protection across University systems.
