Manufacturing defect causes some M Keys to be replaced
A manufacturing defect has led to the need for replacement of more than 1,000 recently issued M Keys.
The M Key vendor has identified a manufacturing defect that leads to premature failure. Symptoms of the defective devices range from broken LCD screen segments to complete failure. The defective devices have been identified as those with serial numbers beginning with the letter “E.” The serial number is located on the back of the device.
All M Keys with an “E” serial number will be replaced, and anyone with one of the affected devices will receive a new M Key and activation instructions in August. Anyone who currently has a device that needs to be replaced will receive e-mail notification before the replacement process begins.
Users who have an “E” M Key that's working correctly can continue to use it until the replacement is received. For further assistance, call 1-HELP at (612) 301-4357 (1-4357 on campus).
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Comments may be directed to mkey@umn.edu.

 M Key - Two Factor Authentication
The University has implemented a two-factor authentication system. Two-factor refers to something you have, and something you know. The most common form of two-factor authentication is an Instant Cash Card. You need both the card (something you have) and the PIN number (something you know) to authenticate and use banking services. At the University we use a two-factor authentication system to access the CUFS financial system on the mainframe. More Information...
