Duo Two-Factor Authentication

More Information
 

• How to Use Duo

  Once you have successfully installed Duo, you will be asked to approve your login after you've entered your username and password. The information below provides details and tips to login and use Duo.

  Duo Login

  • Duo Push: Select "Send Me a Push" on the Duo screen and a notification will be sent to your phone, watch or tablet. You may then select "Approve" and you will be logged into your account. 

  • If you receive a notification to approve access in Duo that you did not initiate press DENY. Once you have denied the suspicious activity, select Yes this was a suspicious login. These notifications happen if someone entered your username and password and is trying to access your information. Learn How to Change Your Password

  Tips for Using Duo

  • If you will be using the same browser for an extended period of time, you can select the "Remember me for 12 hours" checkbox on the Duo screen before approving your login. This option allows you to bypass the duo login approvals for 12 hours on the same browser. 
  • If you do not have a reliable internet connection, or if the Duo push isn't showing up on your device, you can open the Duo Mobile app and select "Show" on the passcode section to generate a passcode to access your account. 
• Activating Duo on a New Device

  Whether you got a new phone or you want to add a tablet as a backup device, you can easily manage multiple devices in Duo.

  1. On the WSU Secure Login page, enter your Wildcat username and password, then click "Log In."

  2. Before approving the login attempt, click "Other Options" then "Manage Devices."

  

  3. Approve this login attempt with a push or passcode on your device that still has Duo.

  On this page, you can manage your devices. If you got a new phone, click the link that says "I have a new phone" and follow the prompts. If you are adding a second device, click "Add a device" and follow the prompts.

• Bypass Codes for Account Lockout

  10 unsuccessful Duo push attempts will result in a lockout of your account. If you lose access to your Duo device, you can get a temporary bypass code by visiting this page: DUO Bypass Code Information (weber.edu).

• Duo in the Testing Center

  When you use a computer in the testing center, you won’t be required to use Duo to authenticate your login. You still need to bring your ID or phone with your Wildcard ID on it to get checked in.

• Need an Alternative to Using a Smartphone?

  Alternative to smartphones, users can use a Duo hardware token fob. There are a limited number of fobs available for students who need an alternative to using a smartphone. These fobs can be requested at the Information Desk in the Shepard Union building or from Davis Student Services D2 262.

  Students are encouraged to contact the IT Service Desk at 801 626-7777 and request assistance enrolling a Duo hardware token.

  To use a Duo token once purchased, select the option to generate a passcode and then press "Enter a Passcode." From there, you may type in the passcode from your token and you will be logged into your account.
