Setting up DUO Two-Factor Authentication for Smartphone (Students/Faculty/Staff)


Overview:

What is DUO two-factor authentication? DUO is a cloud-based security company providing two-factor authentication services. Two-factor authentication enhances security by adding a second layer of authentication to your login. This method is stronger than a password alone because there are two factors confirming you are who you say you are: something you know such as your password and something you have like a cell phone or tablet.  This ensures that even if a hacker manages to obtain a user's login credentials, the information is useless without access to the user's secondary device.

Setting up your Smart Phone for DUO Authentication

1. Navigate to the the Duo Device Management Portal in OneCampus.

2. Enter Radford username and password to log into the Duo Device Management portal:
