Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) required to access Library account as of May 31, 2021

Published: 17 May 2021

 

Starting Monday, May 31, 2021, McGill’s Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) will be required when users sign in to their Library account. This step mirrors the log-in process required for other campus systems (e.g. email/Microsoft 365, Minerva, My Courses, VPN, etc.).


Please note:

  • Only those users who have already enrolled in 2FA at McGill will be prompted.
  • The 2FA prompt will only appear when users sign in from off-campus.
  • Most students, faculty, and staff who were part of the McGill community during the winter 2020 or later are enrolled in 2FA.
  • Other borrowers (i.e. alumni, emeritus professors, borrowers from other universities, members of the community, etc.) will not be prompted for a second factor when logging in to their Library account.
