The app seems pointless, I get it supposed to keep it secure but it's just turned into a hassle

This app isn't really all that effective, and seems almost pointless. There should be a simpler way to have some sort of added protection.

It's pretty ridiculous. A per-device 2-factor system would be so much better. If someone is trying to access you account from an invalid computer, it doesn't work. If they try to access it from your computer, you know it's been stolen, and have probably already had it frozen.

It's not worth the hassle. I believe in 2-Factor Authentication, but this one is implemented VERY poorly.

1. I am an advisor who has to log in several times a day. As a security measure, I log out while I'm away from my computer. Will this authentication scheme be so inconvenient as to deter me from logging out (thus defeating its purpose)?
2. I do not have a smartphone. While there is a landline option, that option will not permit me to log in from other locations, compromising my ability to give classroom presentations. Will the university provide an alternate second-factor for members of the community who need one?
3. We've been told multiple times in vague terms that the university acknowledges the community burden but expects to reap increased savings due to increased security and reduced need for remediation. This sounds like burden-shifting. Has a cost-benefit analysis been done, and if so, will the university make it public?

Very inconvenient. Especially if phone is not readily available or lost.

I thought it was going to be a one time authentication per device, but now I have to do it every time I just want to get the class notes.

Very inconvenient and a nuisance. If anything, it's a chore.

Not only does this authentication assume you have your phone on you, it assumes you have a phone in the first place. What about the less privileged students who are going to college on a shoestring budget and can't afford that luxury? Oh, that's right, Virginia Tech doesn't make quite as much money on them so they subtly push them away with crap like this. Not to mention it's a waste of everybody's time.

The authentication system is very annoying to use. My phone has died while I have my computer and I could not log in.

Unnecessarily inconvenient. Open to less cumbersome security alternatives.
ridiculous change school made
