The deadline for an ID.me account with Multi-Factor Authentication is now TBD Wednesday, June 28, 2023 The deadline to complete the identity verification and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) process through ID.me has changed from 1-JAN-2024 to "To Be Determined" and alternate options to meet the US government requirements are being explored. Based on this new information, the CCTG network can hold implementation efforts at this time. The efforts by CCTG network members to address the new requirements, to identify challenges, and to strategize to find solutions has been mission-critical. Similarly, the collaboration with NCI colleagues to support the Canadian research community has been essential to moving this forward. "I cannot express enough how much your efforts have been appreciated," says Dr Janet Dancey, CCTG Director. "Through this enormous, collective and collaborative effort your questions, feedback, challenges and concerns were communicated to NCI who pressed for changes." The exploration of alternate options will take time and we will continue to update the group as information is received. At this time, Canadian research staff may follow the processes below as an alternate to completing the existing ID.ME process: Re-registration – Select IAM and bypass the ID.me requirement. New Registration – contact the CTEP IAM help desk to request an IAM (vs ID.me) account. Information is available on the resource page CCTG Member Updates and if you have any questions please contact our help desk at CCTGHelpIDme@ctg.queensu.ca
