As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the security posture of our systems, we are implementing DUO Security’s Two Factor Authentication solution, DUO! DUO helps to verify identification by combining username and password (something you know) with cell phone or landline (something you have). This approach ensures that you are, in fact, the person trying to access your account and improves the security of your identity.

DUO Security Supports the following devices:

Device Duo Push (recommended) Passcode Voice Call SMS (Text)
Smartphone
Basic Cell Phone
Landline
DUO offers four different methods of authentication:

Push is used when Duo's mobile application sends a push notification to your smartphone. Just tap “Approve” to authenticate.

Passcode (softtoken) from Duo’s mobile application it provides a 6digit unique code to authenticate.

Call is the simple feature where Duo Security calls your device and you authenticate by pressing a key.

SMS is when Duo Security sends a passcode to your device via a text message or SMS. You then authenticate by entering your onetime passcode.

  • Make sure the Duo Mobile application is open: A user lockout sometimes happens when the Duo Mobile application sends multiple attempts to authenticate that are not responded to. To reduce the number of unanswered push notifications, try opening the Duo application prior to sending the push request.
  • Authenticate to an enrolled and available device: Persistent attempts to authenticate to an inactive or incorrect device can cause a lockout. If you did not complete the enrollment process, multiple attempts to authenticate with Duo will cause a lockout.
