[OPLINTECH] Microsoft Office 365 Authentication Changes

[Anthony Sims]

Hi, Fred!

Logan County Libraries has Secure Managed Services with Aunalytics which provides us with DUO accounts for each user and we've had very good success with that.  I'm not sure just how long the library has used DUO (I've only been here for less than two years) and I've heard very little negativity about it.  It has both SMS and voice authentication options.

Caution: External Email

If your library system is using Microsoft Office 365, I would like to hear what some of the libraries around the state are doing regarding changes coming down from Microsoft Office 365 since they are doing away with SMS/Voice authentication in February 2027. I know there are a few alternative authentication methods out there to use, but would like to get some feedback from other libraries on what method they prefer and the pros/cons to using that authentication method.

Thanks in advance,
