Kerberos is used for authentication (to validate that you are who you say you are) when logging in to many services and systems at U-M. Going forward, the university will move toward use of single sign-on authentication options such as Shibboleth rather than using Kerberos directly.

Duo two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security when you log in, keeping your account secure even if your password is stolen or compromised.
