Two-Factor Authentication, provided by Duo, integrates your phone into the login process, resulting in two types of authentication to verify your identity:
- Something you know – your username and password
- Something you have – your mobile device
Benefits & Features
Why is this needed?
- Cyberattacks targeting our faculty, staff, and students are an ongoing threat.
- Most cyberattacks are executed by taking advantage of weak or stolen passwords.
- Two-Factor Authentication is the best way to mitigate attacks on weak or stolen passwords.
Getting Started
How to Register?
Registration Tips
- Register your Android or iPhone using the Duo mobile app found in your device's app store for the most secure experience, which pushes notifications to your device.
- Register the mobile device that you normally have with you at work, when traveling or at home. This will be your primary device that will receive authentication notifications.
- You will need your mobile device and computer to register.
I’ve registered! Now what?
- Try to log into a university system, like Canvas. Type in your username and password and click Log In. If your username and password are valid you will be redirected to duo.com to confirm you are in control of your device.
- If you don’t receive an authentication notification, check the notification settings on your phone, open the Duo Mobile app, or restart the Duo Mobile app on your smartphone.
