Enabling Duo for 2FA

Keep your accounts safe with two-factor authentication by Duo.

DUO combines modern two-factor authentication with advanced endpoint security solutions to protect users from account takeovers and data breaches.

Two-factor authentication is one of the best ways to protect against remote attacks such as phishing, credential exploitation and other attempts to take over your accounts. Without your physical device, remote attackers cannot pretend to be you in order to gain unauthorized access to corporate networks, cloud storage, financial information, etc.

After successful primary authentication, users simply approve a secondary authentication request pushed to the Duo Mobile smartphone app. Users may also authenticate by answering a phone call or by entering a one-time passcode generated by the Duo Mobile app, a compatible hardware token, or received via SMS (Short Message Service).
