As students at West Texas A&M we should be given the option to opt in or out of 2-factor authentication for our "BuffPortal" login. The Duo 2-Factor authentication is an inherently good endeavor that seeks to keep students information safe but the new login process was implemented without a general consensus from students. This petition has been started because the Duo 2-factor authentication makes it harder for students to access their assignments, amongst other important info. Some students do not have a smartphone and some students are left unable to do their homework if their phone dies for an extended time.

This petition seeks to implement a change so that students can have the option of registering for 2-factor authentication or not.
