Two-Step Login Checklist
Ensure you are enrolled in Duo Mobile
Duo Push using the Duo Mobile app is the recommended method for two-step login. It will work anywhere there is a wireless network connection or wireless carrier service available.
To activate Duo Mobile for a device, please review the instructions here.
Note: The Google Play Store might not be available in some regions. Those with Android devices need to have Duo Mobile installed prior to arrival.
Generate SMS Passcodes
In case you forget or lose your primary device, its important to have a backup. Creating a batch of one-time use passcodes prior to departure will ensure your access to Lafayette services.
To generate passcodes, please review the instructions here.
Consider a YubiKey/U2F token
A YubiKey / U2F token is a USB security key you keep with you that allows you to authenticate to two-step login from anywhere. Simply plug the YubiKey / U2F token into the computer and press the button on the key when prompted.
To register a YubiKey / U2F token, please review the instructions here.
Requesting a temporary bypass code
In an emergency, you can request a temporary bypass code you can use to register a new mobile phone, landline, or other device after arriving at your destination.
Request a temporary bypass code by contacting the Help Desk at help@lafayette.edu or (610) 330-5501.
