Keyserver

Keyserver is a service which allows students to remotely access lab PCs on campus in order to access software which would otherwise be unavailable.

Please note that multifactor authentication is required both for login to the Keyserver site above, and on connection to a PC.
You must ensure that app based notifications are set up as your default MFA method.
Text message and one-time passcodes are not supported for this system.

Please see details on setting up the correct MFA method on your account.
