On Wednesday, September 28, ITS will be making changes to enhance the security of logging into Webmail (O365.weill.cornell.edu) while off campus. Starting on this date, if you are traveling internationally outside of the United States or our Qatar campus, you will need to register your mobile device with Duo to access Webmail abroad.
If you already registered for Duo to use myapps.med.cornell.edu remotely, you do not need to do anything further.
How do I sign up for Duo if I have not yet registered?
Signing up is free and can be configured with ease using a mobile phone, tablet, or landline phone. For more information about this service, please click here. To enable your CWID with two-factor authentication, please visit the enrollment page at https://duo.weill.cornell.edu while on campus or while using VPN.
What is Duo?
Duo, which was implemented at WCM earlier this year, adds an extra layer of security for faculty, staff, and students to help safeguard their data and ITS services. When you log into Webmail from an international location, Duo will send a notification to your mobile device or landline asking you to confirm your identity. This prevents unauthorized users from signing into your account when you’re not on our secure network.
