FAQs

Passwords are increasingly easy to compromise. They can often be stolen, guessed, or hacked — you might not even know someone is accessing your account.

Two-factor or multi-factor authentication adds a second layer of security, keeping your account secure even if your password is compromised. With Duo Push, you'll be alerted right away (on your phone) if someone is trying to log in as you.

This second factor of authentication is separate and independent from your username and password — Duo never sees your password.

Duo's remembered devices feature is similar to the "remember my computer" or "keep me logged in" options users are accustomed to seeing during primary authentication on many websites. With the remembered devices feature enabled, the user is offered a “Remember me for ...” checkbox during login. When users check this box, they aren't challenged for secondary authentication again when they log in to that application from that device for the specified period of time.

Multi-factor authentication is currentlyenabled for selected applications. Review theor thefor step-by-step instructions.

You may have trouble receiving push requests if there are connection issues between your phone and the Duo service. Many phones have trouble determining whether to use the Wi-Fi or cellular data. Due to this reason there may be an issue relating to the push requests. In this case simply turning the phone to airplane mode and back to normal operating mode often resolves issue.

Check the date and time on your phone, and make sure they are correct. Avoid setting manual date and time on your phone. Instead, set it up to sync with your phone service network.

Should neither of these actions help, see the Duo Knowledge Base for additionalandtroubleshooting.

If you cannot get Duo push working on your own, you can log in with a passcode generated by the Duo Mobile app and send a new activation link to your phone. See theguide for instructions.
