Two Factor VPN Authentication

Improving the way you connect to the FIU network!

The Division of Information Technology, as part of its ongoing cybersecurity strategy, has implemented a mandatory two-factor authentication method for the Enterprise Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Two-factor authentication requires two steps to log in. The first step is using something you know (i.e., your password), and the second step is something you have (i.e., cell phone) to securely verify your identity. This is similar to the two-factor authentication used by many online services.

When initiating the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client, you will be prompted for your FIU username, password, and a “second password”. In this second password field, you will specify your preferred verification method (“something you have”).

In the second password field, you will be required to type “push”, “phone”, or “sms”.
• Push: uses the DUO Mobile app*
• Phone: places an automated voice call*
• SMS: sends 10 unique verification codes via text message to be used 10 different times. When you first enter SMS in the second password field, your login attempt will fail. Log in again with one of the new verification codes sent to you via text message.*
