Option 1: Authenticator App
An authenticator app generates PIN codes on your phone for two-factor authentication. When logging in, you will enter your password and a PIN generated by your Authenticator app.
1. Download the Google Authenticator App (or similar OTP app) from the Android Play Store or the Apple Store onto your mobile device.
2. Login to Online Services for Faculty (https://onlineservices.concordia.ab.ca/) from another device, other than the phone where you have the Authenticator app.
3. Go to My Account.
4. Choose Change password.
5. In the Multi-Factor Authentication section, choose Authenticator App.
6. (Optional) Type in a Device description. Please make sure not to use the characters(" or ') in your device description.
7. Click on Add Device. A QR code will be generated, which you will need to scan with the downloaded Authenticator app.
8. Upon successful scan, your CUE account will be setup in your app. A new 6-digit code will be generated by the app every 30 seconds. You will need to enter your password and the displayed 6-digit code on your app whenever you need to login to your CUE account.
