Good morning, Please see below. Time is running out for employees to sign up for a BoilerKey. If you haven't signed up, please do so before July 1st, 2018. http://www.purdue.edu/boilerkey BoilerKey set up<https://www.purdue.edu/apps/account/IAMO/BoilerKeyNew/Purdue_CareerAccount_BoilerKey_FAQ.jsp> BoilerKey signups in progress, new hardware tokens arrive July 1 deadline to sign up On July 1 all employees need to be signed up for and using BoilerKey if they want to access the employee portal or other SAP functions. Purdue employees can sign up for BoilerKey by visiting http://www.purdue.edu/boilerkey. Users can choose from two options: the Duo Mobile software application or a hardware token if a smartphone or tablet is unavailable. Hardware tokens were previously backordered, but distribution has resumed with receipt of a new shipment. What is two-factor authentication? BoilerKey adds a second login requirement to go with your password. At Purdue, it's a numerical code randomly generated on a smartphone app called Duo or a hardware token. Essentially, even if someone were to get your password (if you fall for a phishing email, for instance), your account would still be protected because only you can physically access your smartphone or key fob hardware token to get the necessary login code. Why do I need it? BoilerKey protects your sensitive data, including financial information such as your bank account and PUID numbers. What if I need a little extra help? You can also get help from: * The GoldAnswers knowledgebase (purdue.edu/goldanswers) * IT Tech Support, West Lafayette campus: itap@purdue.edu or 44000; Purdue Northwest: csc@pnw.edu; IPFW: helpdesk@ipfw.edu or 260-481-6030 What else do I need to know? After the July 1 deadline, if you do not have BoilerKey, you can still sign up for it. The only consequence is that you will not be able to access the employee portal after July 1 until you have BoilerKey. To avoid having to sign up at crunch time, sign up today. Encourage your colleagues to sign up, too.
