Google Email to be part of the more than 150 applications that leverage your Single Sign On (SSO)

May 28, 2024

Starting Monday, June 3, Information Technology Services will eliminate one of your additional logins. Google Email will now be part of the more than 150 applications that leverage your Single Sign On (SSO) credentials.

ITS says the goal is to make things easier–with single sign-on, you can use one account to access your URI email, Wi-Fi, Transportation and Parking, Brightspace, Office 365, Dining Services, and more!

Recommendation: set up Duo on all devices before June 3 so you also have a seamless transition! We have created an article to help you set up Duo: Get Started with Duo 2FA and if you have any questions, please reach out to the Service Desk! 

What do I have to do?

Do you have Duo set up for all devices? Then you’re good to go! On June 3, you will transition seamlessly to SSO for Google so you’ll have less juggling of multiple log-ins – one account and go with SSO!

Do you have Duo set up for some devices? If you haven’t logged into single sign-on on all devices – set up Duo on all devices before June 3 so you also have a seamless transition!

Don’t have Duo already set up? Get Started with Duo 2FA before June 3 so you also have a seamless transition!

Community members should expect to see the same sign-in option for their URI email as all other SSO applications after the change. Existing sign-in sessions to your URI email address will remain active until the next time you must sign in. Note: You may have to sign back into your email account or approve your sign in on your device. The first time you use a new device, you will need to authenticate with Duo.

Note: Only @uri.edu email addresses will be affected. Other URI email domains, like @etal.uri.edu, will not be affected by this change.

If you have questions or comments, please contact the ITS Service Desk.
