Two-Factor Authentication
WRDS has announced they will be moving to Two-Factor authentication in November of 2022. Please see https://wrds-www.wharton.upenn.edu/pages/about/wrds-faqs/faq-for-two-factor-authentication/ for details.
WRDS is using the same tool we use at RIT, so this should be easy and familiar to set up.
