PSU Tech Briefing: To Know and Do - August 11, 2022

Coming This Fall: Enhanced Security for Microsoft 365 Email
To Know: Over the next six months, Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) will roll out
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Microsoft 365 (M365) to all University System of New Hampshire (USNH) students and employees to further enhance security on USNH email accounts. Purdue University began using  MFA for Microsoft 365 services in the fall of 2021 and saw its rate of compromised accounts plummet.

ET&S piloted this change with employees in June to collect feedback on the process. Last week, we implemented MFA for M365 for all USNH Systems Office employees.

New Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
To Know: The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, is now the easy-to-remember resource for reaching trained crisis counselors who can help with suicide, mental health and substance use-related crises.

To Do: If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988.

With MyAccount, you can update your password and find your username and/or University ID number. If you forget your password, you can use the Reset Password feature to access your account.

To Do: All USNH students and employees should register their account recovery options via the MyAccount tool to avoid getting locked out. Follow these instructions to get started.
