SF State Single Sign-On Login Change

Overview

On Tuesday, June 6, 2023, Information Technology Services (ITS) will modify the SF State Single Sign-On (SSO) service to improve login security and reliability. This change will modernize the two-factor authentication (2FA) prompt and make the login experience consistent with the web version of Outlook.

Justification

SSO is one of SF State’s most critical infrastructure services. Many University services are accessed through SSO, and the list keeps growing, making SSO the single, biggest point of failure.

SF State, like many other universities, will be migrating to a “cloud-first” IT strategy to leverage robust security offerings, conditional access, and adaptive authentication.

What to expect

Users will be presented with a new login screen matching the one currently available on the web version of Outlook. Going forward, all SF State online resources, including email, Gateway, Zoom, DocuSign, and Canvas, will have a consistent login experience. The SF State login (e.g., 900000000@sfsu.edu) and password will remain the same.

All SF State IT services will remain operational without any service disruption.
