Barrington 220 implemented Single Sign-On (SSO) for staff members this past school year, and SSO is now used to sign in to many of our platforms (i.e., Google, Infinite Campus, Skyward, and Embrace).
We have now improved the multi-factor authentication (MFA) portion of this system to enhance security. This enhancement is referred to as “number matching” and is designed to reduce inadvertent MFA authorizations.
When MFA is required, the login screen will include a number that must be entered into the Authenticator app prior to approving the sign in. It's a quick and simple way to verify that the staff member logging into a system is truly who they say they are.
Here is what the new enhancement looks like:
On the Authenticator app, the same 2-digit number that is shown on the sign-in screen must be entered. If you are not the person trying to sign in to a Barrington 220 system, please choose the “No, it’s not me” option. Also notice that the Authenticator app shows a general location of the individual trying to access one of our systems:
If you have questions regarding signing in to Barrington 220 systems, please contact your building LTA staff or contact our tech support department at x1500 (224-655-1500).
