DUO has migrated from their traditional authentication window to what they now call the Universal Prompt. Please visit the DUO Universal Prompt article for more information.
The steps below will walk you through the setup and process for using DUO. The setup must be completed on a computer and you will need to have access to a smartphone and
other devices* you will be using to complete your authentication.
*The Office of Information Technology (OIT) recommends using a smartphone as the primary device and a landline as your optional secondary device.
