Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) - Duo Identity and Access Management

Why is this needed?

• Cyberattacks targeting our faculty, staff, and students are an ongoing threat and we've had a significant number of victims within our university community.
• In 2018, 81% of cyberattacks were executed by taking advantage of weak or stolen passwords.
• Two-Factor Authentication is the best way to mitigate attacks on weak or stolen passwords.

I’ve registered! Now what? 

• Try to log into a University system, like Canvas. Type in your username and password and click Log In. An authentication screen will appear to provide more options.
• If you don’t receive an authentication notification, check the notification settings on your phone or restart the DUO Mobile app on your smartphone.  

Registration Tips

• Register your Android or iPhone via the DUO app for the most flexible notification options, including push notifications, text messages, phone calls or to generate one-time passcodes. 
• Register the phone that you normally have with you at work, when traveling or at home. This will be your primary phone that will receive authentication notifications. 
• You will need your phone and computer to register. 
• It’s a good idea to register another phone in case your primary phone is unavailable.

Register a phone number with Two-Factor Authentication. When you attempt to access University systems that utilize this technology it requires a you to confirm your identity by using the Duo application on your registered smartphone, via a text message, or by answering a phone call to your registered phone number.
