I was trying to log onto the alumni directory. I put in my user code plus password, but now they want a bypass code. It used to be that they would ring your phone to complete the login process. Is there anybody, who has log in to the directory recently?

Is there anybody, who has log in to the directory recently? It feels like they have been trying to hide the alumni directory, not necessarily taking it offline entirely, as some users might complain, but making it so that people don't discover it and become new users. I assume that's a balance struck due to lawyers telling them the directory is a giant privacy/security risk. Anyway, recent updates to the Duo Mobile app have made it so that, instead of being prompted on your phone by Duo with a 'Confirm it's you trying to log in' notification, there's now a code required for Two Factor Authentication purposes. |

Finally, was able to get onto the alumni directory, but it involved sweat and tears. First email help@georgetown.edu, then set up a zoom meeting to show that you are the person calling with a government issued id (e.g., driver's license). Then setting up the duo mobile app, etc., etc. A new password is involved and then the bypass code is given. Takes both computer and cell phone is involved. Good luck!

If you make it too complicated its usefulness will diminish.
