UW policy is that all services (of which HYAK is one) require 2 factor authentication (2FA) by default as a security posture.

important

You need 2FA to log onto any HYAK cluster.

You can use a personal device (e.g., phone, tablet) or a land line as your two-factor token, please go to this 2FA page and ensure you have it enabled and configured. If you wish to use an older style single purpose token, visit this page and ask for a security token.
