CUNYAutoLogin - How to stay signed into CUNYFirst

A solution to stay signed into CUNY SSO

CUNYAutoLogin is a browser extension that signs you into CUNY’s SSO. It enters your password, enters the correct six digit code, and eliminates sign-in friction as soon as you get to a CUNY login page.

What exactly is CUNY SSO?

All students at the City Univerity of New York have to use CUNY’s Single Sign On (SSO). It logs you into

• CUNYFirst (accept financial aid, request official transcripts, apply for classes, etc.)
• Brightspace (submit assignments, see assignments, etc.)
• Degreeworks (see progress towards degree)
• etc

CUNY SSO is required to do basically anything at CUNY.

What’s wrong with CUNY SSO?

The problem is that CUNY signs you out every few hours. Multiple times a day students must:

1. Enter their email & password
2. Pull out their phone and open their authenticator app
3. Enter the correct six digit code

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like doing the whole sign in thing several times a day.

How does CUNYAutoLogin solve this?

CUNYAutoLogin is a browser extension for both Chrome & Firefox. After installing the extension, it guides you through entering your email, your password, and adding a new 2FA factor from CUNYFirst, then securing your credentials with biometrics. Every time afterwards your sign in to CUNY SSO looks like this:

1. Click on something that redirects you, like Brightspace
2. Wait. Without clicking anything else, watch as it enters the information & clicks through for you
3. Enjoy being signed in to CUNY

One click. That’s it
