DUO 2-Factor Authentication @ ODU
Beginning early next year, all students will be required to use two-factor authentication when logging in to Monarch-Key services, including Leo Online, Blackboard and student gmail. You can get a head start by enrolling your account in two-factor authentication today!
Two-factor authentication adds a layer of security to online accounts by requiring users to provide a second form of authentication in addition to a standard user name and password. This second “factor” could be a push notification to your smartphone or tablet (recommended), a code generated by a hardware or software token, or a text message to your mobile phone. The second factor protects your account in the event that your password falls into the wrong hands.
Enrollment is easy:
- First, you must enroll in two-factor authentication and register a smartphone, cell phone, tablet or token as a second factor.
- After enrollment, simply log in to Monarch-Key services with your MIDAS ID and password as usual, then confirm your identity with the second authentication method. To make things easier, you can enroll more than one device and/or use the "remember me" feature to reduce the number of times you get prompted for the second factor. (Learn more.)
