#HOW TO USE DUO ON MAC PASSWORD#
Duo can't prevent your EID credentials from being compromised (only you can do that!) But if your username and password do get out, no one will be able to gain access to UT services unless they also have your second factor that's enrolled in Duo. Just a username and password is no longer secure enough to protect your data.
Why do we have it?īy adding Duo as a second factor of authentication, the security of UT systems is increased. Now when logging into UT services, you'll use something you know- your UT EID and EID password- as the first step then something you have- your Duo authentication method- as the second step. UT is implementing Two Factor Authentication for most of our online systems using a service called Duo. Something you have could be the key to your house, something you are could be your fingerprint to unlock your smartphone, and something you know could be a username and password to sign into your computer. Two-factor authentication requires one authentication method from two distinct categories in order to gain access to the service or system. There are three main categories of authentication- something you have, something you are, and something you know. Not part of the College of Natural Sciences?
