YubiKey for ACE Multi-Factor Authentication
- Sam Kardasz
A limited number of Yubikeys are available for employees who do not have a cell phone capable of supporting app-based multi-factor authentication.
The use of a YubiKey is not recommended unless it is absolutely necessary for the individual.
YubiKeys are small and easy to lose.
YubiKey Assignment
YubiKeys are only assigned if the employee does not have a cell phone capable of supporting Okta Verify or Google Authenticator applications
Employees seeking a YubiKey are required to make an appointment with the SOM Help Desk.
What do I do if I lose my YubiKey?
You will lose all access to your ACE ID, including UNLVMail, all Google Services, Workvivo, WebCampus, Zoom if you lose your YubiKey.
If your YubiKey is lost, stolen, or broken, you are required to make an appointment with the SOM Help Desk.
Due to the sensitive nature of the device, a YubiKey cannot be given to another employee to pass on to you.
You will be required to come to the SOM Help Desk office to obtain a new YubiKey.
