First-time Enrollment in Duo
Logging into a Duo-protected application enabled for self-enrollment takes you to the device management page to enroll.
Click Get started to enroll your first device.
Step Two: Choose Your Verification Method
Choose the device type in the list that matches your desired authentication experience:
- Touch ID: Use the fingerprint sensor on Apple MacBooks, Magic Keyboards, or iPhone.
( Please keep in mind your admissions application is going to require you to have duo push as an option.)
- Duo Mobile: Approve Duo Push verification requests on iOS or Android devices, or generate a one-time passcode from the Duo Mobile app.
- Phone number: Receive a one-time passcode in an SMS message or approve a login attempt with a phone call from Duo.
Only your organization's Duo administrator or help desk can add hardware tokens and YubiKey OTP tokens for you. These verification options do not show up in the list of available options. Neither do any methods that your organization blocks from use; if your Duo administrator applied a policy that doesn't allow authentication with text messages or phone calls, the "Phone number" option will be missing when you enroll.
Duo recommends the most secure option of the methods available to you, so it's a good idea to set up that method first if you have a device that supports it.
