WRDS implemented 2-factor authentication using DUO for registered user accounts beginning November 28, 2022.
Users will be prompted to enroll and set-up instructions are available on the WRDS website.
Class accounts and Day Pass access are not subject to the 2FA requirement.
Instructors can set up class accounts for a specific course with defined start and end dates.
Class accounts provide students access to the WRDS web interface to complete exercises or assignments during that time. This includes access to the WRDS JupyterHub to create Jupyter notebooks to work with the data and SAS Studio. Instructors can use newly designed tools to manage their class accounts and track student usage of the WRDS platform.
See also Classroom Tools by WRDS, a teaching and learning toolkit designed specifically for faculty who are introducing finance and business concepts in the classroom.
Faculty members, staff, masters and Ph.D. students may establish individual WRDS accounts that include data storage. For more information about available account types and parameters, please click the Account Types tab.
