What is DUO Verified Push?

DUO Verified Push enhances the security of conventional two-step login by requiring you to enter a code on your device to complete the login. This added layer of security during authentication, helps individuals quickly identify and reduce potential phishing attempts including accidental approval of malicious logins.

I need to access My Devices & Settings but I'm logged in automatically and never see the two-step login options

If you are logged in automatically from a remembered device, you need to open a new Private or Incognito window in your browser to get to the two-step login frame.

I updated the OS on my smart phone or bought a new phone and now I don’t get Push requests.

The DUO Mobile app must be reactivated after an OS update or getting a new phone. To reactivate DUO Mobile and receive Push requests again, follow the steps for Installing DUO Mobile.

I no longer receive phone calls for two-step login at my cell phone.

Incoming authentication requests for the Call Me method originate from (908) 258-6424 (Union, NJ). Make sure that the number for DUO is not on your blocked callers list.

I’d like to use a YubiKey/U2F key. Are there any in particular ITS recommends?

ITS recommends the Yubico Security Key. Some departments may wish to purchase them in packs directly from Yubico for a slight discount. They are also available from Amazon.

U2F keys work with the latest version of Chrome. Anyone with a brand new Apple MacBook Pro will need an USB-A adapter or YubiKey 4C. Linux users may need their systems set up for U2F depending on the type of key they use.
