Enrolling MFA with Security Key

If a cell phone is not an option for your multifactor device and using your desk phone isn't possible because you work from multiple locations, we have USB security keys available, which looks like small flash drives. These will require a small one-time fee charged to your department (and your financial manager's approval).  If you are interested in this option, please contact the IT Help Desk and we will get you more information.  Please visit this page for more information on the USB security keys.

To set up your security key from your computer (a video walkthrough is available)

1. Login to USI by going to https://weblogin.usi.edu

2. After logging into your account, you will be prompted to set up Multifactor Authentication. Select "setup" on Security Key or Biometric Authenticator to configure.

3. Select "Setup"

4. Select "Enroll"

5. Confirm the account you want to attach to your security key and click "OK"

6. Click "OK"

7.Insert your security key into your computer USB Port

8. Create a PIN, the PIN will be required to login into your account

*The PIN can be any series of numbers, letters, and/or special characters
