NYU Email: Creating or modifying a personal email address
Albert sucks. At least this is better: NYU Public Class Search - Beta
However certain information e.g. instructor and classroom is omitted.
Course specific. On the "Announcements" tab of a course, click the "RSS" button and copy the URL.
During login MFA, if a password manager e.g. Bitwarden is the default credential manager for the browser (or OS), Windows Hello (MS Windows) or Touch ID (MacOS/iPadOS/iOS) will invoke the password manager to authenticate with a passkey.
On Linux distros, one can change the user agent for duosecurity.com to either MS Windows or Apple devices
to enable passkey authentication with browser extensions e.g. "User-Agent Switcher and Manager" for Firefox.
NYU WIFI network hijacks all DNS queries to its internal DNS server. To avoid this, use a encrypted DNS protocol e.g. DoT or DoH to secure DNS queries.
The status LED of the AP switch is on by default, which can be disturbing at night. To turn the status LED off, use a sharp object to short-press the reset button once.

NYU provides VPN service with Cisco AnyConnect. OpenConnect is a free and open-source multi-protocol VPN client, which supports
Cisco AnyConnect. On Linux, the openconnect binary does the job. One can moreover install
networkmanager-openconnect to integrate the VPN connection into NetworkManager.
One annoyance of NYU VPN is that you need to input "push" after the password. In my experience, NetworkManager's applet seems
unable to remember multiple entries of password.
Actually, unticking All users may connect to this network makes saving password work, see [SOLVED] NetworkManager doesn't save password for openconnect vpn.
Alternatively, execute printf "$passwd\npush" | openconnect vpn.shanghai.nyu.edu -u <netid> --passwd-on-stdin in the terminal.
Note: MFA on DUO Mobile is still mandatory.
