InCommon MultifactorWorried about whether your password will be enough to keep your critical information safe? Sick of trying to pick and remember increasingly long and complex passwords?

InCommon and Duo Security offer two affordable pricing models for phone-based second-factor authentication, including $5/user/year (minimum of 500 users) with no paperwork or special agreement, or a site license covering faculty and staff, or faculty/staff/students. See www.incommon.org/duo
