Troubleshooting Login Issues With Staff Computers
Try to verify the following: Verify you are using the “Other” selection when indicating login preference. Verify that the Caps lock is not on. Verify you are using the correct username and passphrase. Is WiFi signal strength good? - What network are you connecting to, it should be your local network if you are at a district location, not GBSDPublic. If you are not connecting via WiFi, is a network cable plugged into the computer and a network wall port? - Pull the cable out of the network port on the computer and plug it back in (to ensure it is seated properly), do the same with the end connecting to the Wall Port. If all of these are fine, restart your computer and try again. If you are still unable to log on, contact the GBSD Help Desk (503) 258-4755.

Google MFA: Getting Started With Multi-Factor Authentication
What is Multi-Factor Authentication? Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), is a security requirement for staff access to many district systems including, but not limited to, Google, Synergy, and the VPN. This additional security layer is required by our cyber security insurance provider because it has been proven effective at preventing certain types of cyber attacks. When you sign into your online accounts (a process called "authentication") you're proving to the service that you are who you say you are. Traditionally that's been done with a username and a passphrase. MFA provides an extra layer of security beyond just a passphrase, in the form of a physical device (phone, tablet, or USB key), to protect an account by requiring a secondary form of authentication. With MFA, if a passphrase is compromised there is still an additional layer of protection required (i.e. the physical device) to gain access to an account. Set up MFA for Google Set up MFA authentication on your personal mobile device or use a security key. Non-administrative GBSD employees can request a district-provided Security Key from the Service Desk. Things to know: Google calls their MFA system “2-Step Verification.” Docuware users using the Connect to Mail App will need to implement a new connection after Google 2-Step Verification has been set up (Note: Login required to access this article). Due to the insecure nature of SMS text messages, verification via SMS texts will NOT be supported. Use a Personal Mobile Device Using a personal device for MFA is the most convenient option since the device is usually with a person wherever they go. Use a Security Key A Security Key is a USB device that plugs into the USB port on your district-provided computer. You will use this key every time you log into Google. A personal or district-provided Security Key can be used.
