Change Two-Step Authentication Off-campus Login Behavior

This option is only available to you after you've set up two-step authentication. If you have not done so, or if you have removed two-step authentication from your account, you will not have a link to your off-campus login behavior.

This setting allows you to choose whether you can access two-step-protected information from anywhere in the world or only on Stanford's network.

  1. On your desktop or laptop browser, visit the Stanford Accounts Application.
  2. Click Manage.
  3. Click the Two-Step Auth tab.
  4. Click  Set Restriction.
    button to change off-campus restrictions
    Set off campus restriction button. Default or current restriction level is shown.
  5. On the next page you will be presented with two choices:
    • Allow Two-Step Authentication logins from off campus: Default. Access two-step authentication protected Stanford pages from anywhere in the world.
      select option to allow logins from off-campus
      Allow Two-Step Authentication logins from off-campus button
    • Deny logins from off-campus: This option will prevent you from accessing two-step authentication protected Stanford pages from any computer not on a Stanford internet address or Virtual Private Network (VPN). Please set this only if you intend to access Stanford WebAuth protected resources from on-campus or via VPN, as this will interfere with normal off-campus accesses.
      select to deny logins from off-campus
      Deny logins from off-campus button
  6. Select the option that you prefer. Your preference will be set accordingly.
