How do I verify my identity for Help Desk support?

Summary

This article explains how Wayne State University students and employees can verify their identity for Help Desk support. It outlines when video call verification is required, how to join a Zoom meeting with provided meeting IDs, and what items are needed for the call, such as a photo ID, camera-enabled device, and stable internet connection.

Body

ID verification via video call is required for select IT support requests that involve the use or change of personal information, e.g., password resets, two-factor authentication account changes, international support, etc.

  • For security purposes, this verification cannot be done over a standard telephone call or email.
  • To verify your identity, support staff must be able to clearly see your face and photo ID.


How to join a video call
To initiate a video call for ID verification, please first call the Help Desk at 313-577-4357 to begin support. Once you have contacted the Help Desk, support staff will instruct you to join the Zoom meeting. Passcodes will be provided by the staff, if necessary.
