Re: [lopsa-discuss] Multi-Factor Authentication - Who's the Best
Duo is picking up usage in the academic environment pretty quickly. We're rolling it out. We've used their API to build a couple of pieces we need (like enrolling allowed people, removing users when they leave, and providing one-time use keys if the device is lost). It has been very easy to include it in a number of our login processes.

We're looking into setting up two-factor authentication at my company for a 2017 project and I'm in the "Let's get the lay of the land" phase. Right now it seems like Duo is making big headway in this market, but I've heard good things about RSA as well. I'd love to get some first-hand feedback from people who have used these types of 2FA solutions who aren't sales people :) Overall I get what 2FA/MFA does, but I'm blurry on how it gets implemented - at face value I'm very interested in Duo so if anyone has experience with Duo and setting it up (preferably alongside Palo Alto's and GlobalProtect) that'd be fantastic.

Re: [lopsa-discuss] Help with gmail technical problem
So, why did they allow both accounts to be created? These are duplicate accounts. Or maybe they didn’t and this other person just thinks that is their account? They sure have used it in some sensitive places. -- *** Deborah Crocker, Ph.D. deborah.croc...@ua.edumailto:deborah.croc...@ua.edu Systems Engineer III http://bama.ua.edu/~crockhttp://bama.ua.edu/%7Ecrock Office of Information Technology 205-348-3758 University of Alabama Fax: 205-348-3993 Box 870346 Tuscaloosa, AL 35487 From: Smith, David [mailto:desm...@wustl.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 8:35 AM To: Crocker, Deborah; Lopsa Discussion Subject: RE: Help with gmail technical problem This is a feature, as far as Gmail is concerned. Firstnamelastname, firstname.lastname, and fir.stna.me.l.a.s.t.na.me are all the same – they implicitly strip periods from their addresses. You can use this for things like subtle sender tracking (put the period in different places for different senders, so you can see who’s selling your address to spammers).

I am firstname.lastn...@gmail.commailto:firstname.lastn...@gmail.com and I occasionally get email to firstnamelastn...@gmail.commailto:firstnamelastn...@gmail.com but this is different person. I discovered it with a Vendor rewards account where I got an update and logged (had to recover a password, hmmm) and found stuff I didn’t recognize. Searched through a bit more and found a name and city. Person actually lives 60 miles down the road. Then realized it wasn’t my email address. So I called the vendor and the problem seemed to get sorted out. But it continues with other vendors. I started getting facebook friend suggests for people I have no clue about. Sure enough at the bottom of the email it says it was sent to firstnamelastn...@gmail.commailto:firstnamelastn...@gmail.com. Recently got from another vendor, one which I’m pretty sure the original enrollee would need to get. I don’t get email all the time for this person (no messages from other persons). The errant messages all say they were sent to firstnamelastn...@gmail.commailto:firstnamelastn...@gmail.com. So is it the vendors or gmail? I could see some company dropping my “.” and sending my email to the other person, but why this way? Can guarantee the gmail online help center doesn’t cover this one. Thanks for any help D.
