Duo MFA

Effective summer of 2025, GCE is moving to require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all resources.  To accomplish this, you must enroll in Duo MFA.  As resources switch to using CELS MFA, you will be unable to authenticate unless you have already enrolled.

Step one: Get a GCE account!  Any CELS services requiring MFA generally requires you to have a CELS account with access to GCE.  You can do that here.

If you do not fully complete the steps above, specifically joining the GCE project, your MFA logins will fail with the following failure message:

Your account does not have access to this application. Contact an administrator for assistance.

Joining the GCE project will correct this.
