Many of the UIUC's systems require Two Factor Authentication (2FA) to log in. To set up 2FA for your account follow these steps:

• Go to NetID Center and click the New to 2FA button.
• Follow the prompts for setting up self-recovery options and installing the Duo Mobile app. 

If you've already set up Duo but have a new phone, go to NetID Center, log in, and click the Manage my 2FA button.

• If your phone number is the same, select your old device above, then choose Reactivate Duo App, and follow the prompts.
• If you have a new phone number, click on + Add a new device.

Getting this error message when you try to log in?: "Access Denied. The username you have entered cannot authenticate with Duo Security. Please contact your system administrator." Go to NetID Center, click on the "New to 2FA" button, and follow the instructions for setting up Duo Mobile.

For further information please contact Tech Services about 2FA.

How do I activate my UIUC library account?

When does this password expire?

What is it?

• University ID Numbers (UIN) are assigned to students, faculty, and staff for identification purposes by UIUC. Your UIN is unique and will never change. Learn more at the University Identification Number page.

What is it used for?

What do I do if I've forgotten my UIN?
