REDCap Data Protection

The data collected by projects using REDCap range from level 1-4 on the University of Toronto’s Data Classification table. Since sensitive level 3 and 4 data are stored on the system, access to REDCap is protected by “strong” multi-factor authentication. This means that you must authenticate using UTORMFA every time that you log into REDCap.

What is UTORMFA?

UTORMFA is the University of Toronto’s multi-factor authentication solution. UTORMFA is required in order to access University web systems, including REDCap.
Multi-factor authentication is a security enhancement which requires two sets of unique credentials before granting users access to an account. When you log in to REDCap with your UTORid and password, UTORMFA sends a push notification to your mobile device. You must approve the UTORMFA notification on your device to finish logging in.

Enrolling in UTORMFA

To set up UTORMFA on your mobile device, follow the UTORMFA enrolment guide. If you encounter a problem while enrolling, contact your local help desk.
