How you log-in to the TRE depends on if you are an internal 
University of Dundee user or an 🌍 external user.
For security, we use “Multi“Multi-Factor Authentication”Authentication”, or MFA, which means we require two pieces of evidence to grant access to the TRE. We rely on:
your username and password (our BST team we will e-mail you your user credentials)
a second factor, either a single use code generated by a mobile device, or a separate approval step.
