<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Maintaining passwords, the ones you use for your online accounts, can quickly become a chore. Years ago, before I began using a password manager, my biggest challenge was not remembering all my passwords.
I could remember the most important and frequently used ones, but I found it difficult creating clever and strong passwords each time I opened a new online account.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px;" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">The answer came with LastPass. I discovered this free service through a colleague, who is also a security professional. I knew that if he was happy using it, I could trust it, too. While it was a bit
time-consuming at first to set up each of my online accounts, once that was done, I had little to do. LastPass automatically fills the usernames and passwords into the login fields on sites I have accounts with. For new sites I sign up with, LastPass help
me to generate random passwords that are as long and as complex as they need to be, then saves them to my vault.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class=""><a href="http://ist.mit.edu/lastpass" class="">LastPass Enterprise</a> is available to the MIT community for free. It includes two-factor authentication using Duo (see the information about Duo below),
so now I am prompted for another factor when I log into LastPass from a computer or device I haven’t used before. </div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Earlier this summer, Vice President of IS&T, John Charles,
<a href="http://web.mit.edu/itgc/letters/duo-memo.html" class="">announced to the community</a> that to improve IT security at MIT, the authentication service of Duo Security is being added to various online processes.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px;" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">As you might know, Duo Security is a two-factor authentication service that prompts you for a second factor as part of signing in to systems. At MIT, accessing the following systems
<b class="">after September 30, 2015</b> will prompt for a second factor:</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px;" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<ul class="">
<li style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Touchstone and web services authenticated through Touchstone (such as Atlas and Stellar)
</li><li style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">MIT’s VPN service </li><li style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Remote access to systems managed by IS&T or located within the IS&T data center facilities
</li><li style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Certificate deployment </li></ul>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px;" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">To make sure you can access these services after September 30th, you should start using Duo as soon as possible.
<a href="http://duo.mit.edu/" class="">To sign up, go to the MIT Duo Security Account Management page</a>. Once signed up, you may enroll your device and enable two-factor authentication.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 17px;" class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">To learn more about installing and using Duo at MIT, see the article on
<a href="http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/RJkwCQ" class="">Two-Factor Authentication with Duo</a> within the Knowledge Base. You may also want to read the
<a href="https://guide.duosecurity.com/" class="">Guide to Two-Factor Authentication</a> provided by Duo Security.</div>

</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">How does it work?</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Bring your device. A STOP tag is affixed to the device, has a unique number, and is registered with a world-wide database. Capt. Cheryl Vossmer of the MIT Police says that although a STOP tag is not
software that can track a device via GPS or other means, it has been very effective at providing a way for lost or stolen laptops to be returned to their rightful owners.</div>
