Microsoft O365 relies on its own proprietary framework called “Modern Authentication” to enable integration with third-party strong-authentication services, like DUO, which provides Penn’s Two-Step Verification system. In addition, Outlook email and calendaring clients provide the smoothest ongoing user experience, reducing the overall support workload, and encouraging adoption. Outlook users can more easily complete initial configuration with no or minimal IT support.
Recommended email and calendaring clientsįor the best experience, ISC strongly recommends using Outlook for Office 365 (also known as ProPlus and click-to-run), Outlook on the Web, and Outlook apps for both Android and iOS when using PennO365 with Penn’s Two-Step Verification system.
