Listed below are some frequently asked questions that will help you with your UWG account, OneLogin, Multi-Factor Authentication, or how to manage your password.

Overview

OneLogin's Single Sign-on allows you to sign-in once on your device and then be able to seamlessly access all your applications that use your user account. This includes access to myUWG, Gmail, and many other UWG services that you need.
Your username was sent to you when you first applied to UWG. If you don't recall your username, you can visit Lookup my Username to lookup your username.

Your best option when using a shared computer is to use the browser's Private Browsing Mode. Instructions are available for Google Chrome's Incognito Mode, Microsoft Edge InPrivate Browsing, Mozilla Firefox's Private Browsing, and Safari's Private Browsing. Make sure you log out of OneLogin and close all browser windows when leaving the computer.

It is recommended that you should never select the 'save my username/password' option from any web site.

Manage My Account

Go to the UWG OneLogin Portal and select the “Forgot Password” link on the login prompt.

You can refer to our Step-by-Step Instructions for additional information.

A OneLogin Password Reset Video Tutorial is also available.

 Manage My Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Log in to the One-Time Passcode (OTP) SelfService with your username and password, follow the steps, and you will be given an OTP to allow access to your account.

You will need to remove that device as a Multi-Factor device.

You may remove a Multi-Factor device/method by signing into One-Time Passcode (OTP) SelfService and opening your Profile. From your Profile page, select the Multi-Factor method/device you want to revoke, and select the 'Revoke' link for that Factor. That device will no longer be able to act as a Multi-Factor method/device for your sign-in process.

You have four options for other MFA methods:

  1. OneLogin Protect (Recommended) - If you have an iOS or Android Smartphone or tablet, we recommend that you download the OneLogin Protect app to be able to receive push notifications and access to offline codes.
  2. OneLogin SMS - If you have a cell phone (non-smartphone) that supports Text Messaging, you can use OneLogin SMS to receive codes texted to your phone.
  3. Personal Email Address (Students Only) - You can register a personal email address that can be sent One-Time Passcodes that are good for 60 minutes.
  4. Security Key - You can purchase and register a Security Key that can be connected to your computer, tablet, phone that serves as your MFA device. Note: this requires a purchase of a separate device. Visit the Security Key page for requirements.

Q&A

SSO is a method where you sign in once to your account each day and then can seamlessly login to each of your SSO apps (Banner Admin Forms, OneUSG Connect, Banweb, etc.) without having to login again. The USG is mandating that we use SSO for applications that contain sensitive or personal information.
