A number of faculty/staff have Yubikeys (small USB devices that can go on a key chain) in place of getting the Microsoft Authenticator app or getting text messages to log in. The process for using these Yubikeys is as follows:
- Use Chrome or Edge as your web browser. Firefox or Safari may work but we recommend Chrome or Edge.
- Go to log in to New Paltz systems/services as normal (entering your username & password).
- You will then be prompted to put in your Yubikey (if it isn't already inserted),
- After that - you'll be prompted to enter the pin for the Yubikey. Note: If the Service Desk setup the Yubikey for you and you don't know the code you were provided - please contact the Service Desk.

- Then - touch the blinking gold circle on the Yubikey.
