In order to enjoy a secure experience, multi-factor authentication (MFA) with an authenticator app is required to access GLASS upon enrolling in any program. When you log in to GLASS, you will be presented with a QR code to set up MFA. Follow the steps below to set up your authenticator app:

  1. Download an authenticator app on your mobile device from the App Store or Google Play. Acceptable apps include Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Duo, or another equivalent app.
    1. If you already have an authenticator app installed on your phone, then you do not need to download a new one.
  2. From within the app, select the option to add an account or scan a QR code.
  3. Scan the QR code with the app.
  4. In your app, you will see a new entry with a verification code. Enter the verification code into the GLASS portal exactly as it appears on your app. The code typically expires every 30 seconds, so be sure that you enter the active code.
  5. Click Connect.
  6. If prompted, enter the verification code again.

IMPORTANT: Each time you log in to GLASS, you will need to open the same authenticator app to get the active verification code. Be sure to keep the authenticator app accessible and do not remove it from your phone.
