Here\u2019s how it works. Once the app is installed on your phone and you have connected it to your account, the next time you log in to Portal, you\u2019ll get a push notification to your phone. Either choose to login by touching the green checkmark to confirm, or, if you did not initiate the login process, choose to cancel by touching the red \u201cX\u201d to deny.<\/p>\n Benefits of the mobile app:<\/p>\n The second method of authentication is with a physical hardware token. Here\u2019s how it works. Once it\u2019s been registered to you (by going to UCS, showing your ID, and running through the hardware token enrollment process with the Service Request Desk)<\/span>, the next time you log in to Portal, you\u2019ll be presented with a Duo prompt that has an \u201cEnter a passcode\u201d button. Push the button on the screen, as well as the power button on your token, then enter the code displayed on the token to the box on your screen. Sound complicated? It\u2019s not too bad, really, once you get used to it, but the Duo Mobile app is definitely the simpler method of authentication.\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tPLxe9HUDjY” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”] WOU has implemented DUO, a two factor authentication…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"splash-page.php","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Western Oregon University - University Computing Solutions","_seopress_titles_desc":"Learn how and why you should set up the DUO security authenticator on your university account.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" WOU is rolling out DUO, a two factor authentication tool.<\/p> <\/p> [ DUO logo?\u00a0 here ]<\/p> <\/p> To login to a system you have to have both:<\/p> Strong passwords are essential, but they aren't enough.
