Scope

  • Duo Security is the system-wide, two-factor authentication security application used at Miami University
  • All current Miami University students, faculty, and staff are required to use Duo for authentication when accessing Miami systems

Environment

Rationale

  • After you've enrolled your primary device for use with Duo Security, MUIT recommends that you add a second device to your account. This will give you the ability to log in to your applications if the device you use regularly to authenticate is damaged, lost, or forgotten
    • You must be enrolled in Duo before you can add a secondary device
  • Duo works with your smartphone, mobile phone, tablet, or U2F hardware token and supports a variety of authentication methods
