Accessing Wharton WRDS and new Multi-Factor Authentication

WRDS Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) by Duo Security launched in March 2023. SSH logins require Two Factor Authentication in the following methods:

  • Users who use SSH with a username and password will continue to use the same hostname for logins 'wrds-cloud.wharton.upenn.edu'. After entering your username and password you will be prompted for a Two-Factor Authentication method.
  • Users who wish to use SSH Keys will need to first authenticate with username, password, and 2FA as above and will then be able to use keys from the same client IP.

Support is available here
