If you are going to work remotely, some things will need to be verified before you leave your office. Here are some steps on how to do each one:
Take your laptop, and any other required hardware with you (including IBIS tokens).
Make sure your cell phone or home phone is set up for 2 Factor Authentication for getting into sites protected with WebAccess.
Go to https://2fa.psu.edu.
You will be prompted to enter your PSU WebAccess login information. (If you currently only have your desk phone set up, do your usual process for this step.)
Go through the steps to Add New Device
For a mobile device:
Downloading the DUO app to your phone is the easiest way to make 2FA work on your device. It can send a push notification and doesn’t cost anything.
Open the app and scan the QR code that pops up during the device enrollment.
For a home phone:
Add your home phone number.
When you need to log into something protected with WebAccess, you can opt to have your home phone ring, instead of using a cell phone or your office phone.
This will activate the secure 2FA connection between WebAccess and your device.
More information on 2FA can be found here: https://get2fa.psu.edu/
Forward your phone to your cell or whatever phone you will be using while working from home.
Open a browser and go to https://voip.psu.edu.
If prompted, enter your Web Access info (chance to test your DUO installation).
Click Phone Settings at the top menu. You may get a message saying, "Your connection is not private". Click Advanced then click the link "Proceed to mohblue.phone.psu.edu (unsafe)".
On the right, you will see a picture of the model of your phone. On the left, select "Call Forwarding".
Check the box beside "Forward all calls to:" and change from Voicemail to Add a New Number.
Nothing needs changed in the "Advanced calling rules" section.
Enter the number to forward to then click Save.
