Google 2-Step Verification

Google Two-Step Verification: Mandatory

Google Two Step Verification(2FA) is mandatory for all Willamette users. 2FA being enabled is a preventive measure to help keep our entire community secure in a world of ever-increasing threats.

If you do not turn on 2FA within a week of creating your account you will no longer be able to sign in.
