LastPass Password Manager
A password manager is an automated digital repository for securely storing user credentials. It generates strong new passwords during user account creation or password change, allows the access of user credentials and other sensitive data via a single strong master password, and inserts credential information on a site or app. It prevents the reuse of old passwords, which is a major cause of security breaches.
LastPass is a Password Manager offered by USC to safely store and maintain its credentials. To learn more about how to use LastPass Password Manager, visit trojansecure.usc.edu/password-manager

Duo
The ITS Duo two-factor authentication (2FA) program improves the security of your USC electronic accounts by requiring an additional level of authentication beyond your username and password. The program provides you with a secondary means of confirming your identity via your mobile device, landline phone or an authentication token, which you will use every time that you sign into any of the services accessed through the USC NetID sign-in.
