Issues with 2FA Text Messages

Our 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) partner, Duo, is reporting issues with SMS (text messaging) delivery of passcodes. Duo has identified the cause of the issue and is working to restore SMS service. 

Duo Push notifications are not affected, and individuals are encouraged to utilize this option as it is the most secure and convenient while we wait for service to be restored.
