Announcements

Rippling now requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users. MFA provides an added layer of security by requiring a second form of verification—something only you have—when signing in. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your Rippling account, even if your password is compromised. Your Rippling account contains highly sensitive information including your personal details, payroll data, and direct deposit banking information. Using Duo Mobile for MFA helps ensure that only you can access this information, keeping your identity and finances secure.
– What to Expect. The next time you sign in to Rippling, you will be prompted to set up MFA. We recommend using the Duo Mobile app to complete this process. Instructions for adding Rippling as an account in your Duo Mobile MFA app can be accessed here.
– Going Forward. Each time you log in to Rippling, you’ll be asked to enter the current 6-digit code from the Duo Mobile app to verify your identity.
For assistance setting up multi-factor authentication for your Rippling account, contact helpdesk@luthersem.edu.

As part of our continued efforts to improve account security, the Office of Technology will be disabling support for older Duo Mobile passcode methods on June 1. Specifically, the older HOTP (HMAC-based One-Time Password) passcode method—still available on Duo Mobile versions 4.48 and earlier—is less secure and more vulnerable to malicious activity. These versions will no longer be supported after June 1.
What You Need to Do. If you’re using Duo Mobile version 4.48 or earlier, please update to the latest version before June 1 to avoid disruptions to your Seminary account login. The current version is 4.87.
How to Check Your Version:

• Open the Duo Mobile app.
• Tap the menu icon (☰) in the top-left corner.
• Your current app version is listed at the bottom of the sidebar.

Already on version 4.49 or newer? You’re all set! Push notifications and TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) passcodes will continue working as expected. If you have any questions or need help updating your app, please contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@luthersem.edu.
