If you don't see the Expand Where You Use Two-Step Login tab described below, then you are required to use Two-Step Login with any service where you log in with CUWebLogin and cannot opt out of this expanded use of Two-Step Login. 

Expand Your Use of Two-Step Login

To better protect yourself against misuse of your NetID and password, you can choose to expand Two-Step Login security to all Cornell services where you log in through the standard Cornell web login page (CUWebLogin).

This is one of the best measures you can take to safeguard your personal information and protect the university against hackers.

To activate this expanded use of Two-Step Login:

  1. Go to Manage Your Two-Step Login.
  2. Select Expand Where You Use Two-Step Login.
  3. Click Opt In.
  4. Confirm your choice by completing the second step of logging in.

Certain campus services, typically ones that grant access to sensitive information, always require Two-Step Login. For these services, you will continue to be prompted by Two-Step Login, regardless of your Opt In or Opt Out choice.
