Be sure to have a mobile phone or tablet (or both) handy to register it and to receive Duo push notifications. You can download and install the Duo App onto your smartphone or tablet from Google Play or the App Store ahead of time or on step 5 below.
See the Tips below for more information on using Duo.
1. On a computer, sign into the NetID SSO screen with your NetID and NetID password and have your Mobile phone or tablet handy.
*If you're registering your device without a computer, you can still follow these instructions by following the note on step 6.
2. If your NetID is enrolled into Duo but you don't have a device registered, you'll be prompted to register a device. Recommended devices include smart phones or tablets so that you can use the DUO Mobile App. You can also use tokens (which can be purchased at the bookstore).
3. Choose the device you want to register and then Continue
4. Then verify the type of phone or tablet and Continue.
5. Install the Duo app onto your phone or tablet from Google Play or the App Store. When you have the app installed click Next.
6. Follow the instructions for scanning the QR code by opening the Duo app on your phone, tapping the "+" button, and scanning the QR code from your computer screen.
*If you are registering your device and not using a separate computer screen to scan the QR code then tap "Email me an activation link instead".
7. Click Continue when activation has been accepted:
This will allow you to choose any device you have available after you register a second device.
8. When you are finished registering (and adding devices) and your settings are correct, click Save and then Continue to Login.
You will need your device every time you log into the NetID SSO screen, unless you check off Remember me for 7 days. The Remember me option will allow you to authenticate with your NetID on devices that you trust and are only used by yourself. If you are logging into a public computer, Do Not check off the Remember me option.
