<div dir="ltr">Do the vendors allow MFA through a code in email? A few of my staff and I have a shared email account that we monitor for invoices, troubleshooting,etc. that would work for these purposes and I believe a few of our admin accounts might be requiring MFA with this as an option already (can't remember which ones but I feel like I did this recently when pulling usage for ACRL stats). If not, I would consider asking the vendor if this could be an alternative.<div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><b>Laura Turner</b><div><i>Associate Dean of the Library</i></div><div><i>Head of Collections, Access, and Discovery</i></div><div>Helen K. and James S.

I don't have a smartphone (nor do I want one). Yes, I realize I'm a very small minority. I agree that if work wants us to use cell phones for work purposes, they should provide us with one (I do have a flip phone, but it's also almost never turned on). I wish
there was an option for an email multi-factor authentication instead. <br>

Of course, in this scenario, it's not really our own work requiring the cell phone, but it's the vendors. I think the "problem" is that so many people always have their smartphones with them and turned on, it's just assumed one will have it and be willing to
use it for anything (work, included).<br>

Vendors and other sites required for technical services work are starting to require a cell phone number for multi-factor authentication via an authenticator app or sms. E.g., to login to admin sites and get usage statistics. We do NOT want staff using their
personal cell phones for business purposes, for multiple reasons. It's highly unlikely our institution will provide us with cell phones!<br>
