2-Step: Tips and Reminders

Here are some tips and reminders when using 2-Step Authentication:

DUO FOB Users

  • Before you choose one of the authentication methods options, check the Remember me for 12 hours box.
  • Always have your FOB with you when you are ready to log in.
  • Do not press the green button on your FOB until after you have clicked on the Enter a Passcode button on the authentication window.
  • Enter the six digit code that appears on your FOB immediately.  You will have 90 seconds after you click on the Enter a Passcode to enter the six digit code.
  • Your token can get "out of sync" if the button is pressed too many times in a row.
  • Avoid storing your FOB in a location where the green button can be accidentally be pressed.  This can happen by accident if the token is stored next to other objects in a pocket, backpack, purse etc. 
  • Store your FOB is a safe location
