Enrollment of a Health Care account for Two-Step Login uses a separate process. UI Health Care employees: Please note that the hospital is also implementing Two-Step Login with Duo Security for UI Health Care accounts on remotely accessible applications. If you need extra assistance, contact the ITS Help Desk or reach out to your local IT support professionals. Common questions are addressed under the “How to and Support” tab. Instructions for enrollment and tips are available at /two-step. Employees can enroll at /uip-tools/two-step from a campus computer or by clicking “Manage Duo Two-Step Login” on the personal tab of Employee Self Service. “Two-Step Login protects your access to sensitive and critical applications because the second login step proves it’s you, not an attacker,” says UI Chief Information Security Officer Jane Drews. Criminals sometimes steal those credentials through phishing-email or phone scams, or when people reuse usernames and passwords to access external websites with security vulnerabilities. This second step prevents criminals from accessing a host of private information in Self Service-tax forms and paycheck direct deposit preferences, to name a couple-if a HawkID and password were ever compromised. Two-factor authentication enhances security because in order to gain access to sensitive data and systems, you must provide your HawkID and password and then verify your identity with something only you have in your possession, like a cell phone, office phone, or single-use codes generated in advance.

In the latest step in the University of Iowa’s continual efforts to strengthen its cybersecurity, all employees will need to use Two-Step Login to access the Employee Self Service website starting Feb.
