Duo Two Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication is available for active faculty, staff and students at Single Sign-on, and is required for various university systems log-ins. Two-factor authentication protects users from unauthorized access to CWRU accounts, in the event that a password is compromised.   Two-factor authentication provides added security by prompting you to enter a unique code at sign in, in addition to your password. The unique code, generated by your phone, is used only once. You can prompt the code from a device of your choosing (typically your smartphone). Using the Duo Mobile smartphone app (for iOS, Android) is the simplest and preferred method for obtaining the second-factor codes, but tokens and other methods are available.
