#### What to expect

As an A-State user, you will not need to change or update anything. On September 30, 2024, you will start to see a new prompt when logging in to any of the M365 apps or services provided by A-State. Some applications may require you to re-authenticate.

When authentication, you will now be prompted to select which authentication method to use for MFA. Select the **Cisco Duo** method to begin Duo authentication. If you have multiple Entra ID authentication methods enabled, you may need to click **Other options** to see the Duo authentication method.
