Duo Mobile App: The Safest Way to Protect Your University Data

When it comes to protecting your academic and employment records, bank account numbers, and other sensitive data stored in university systems, you need more than just a strong password. You need an extra layer of security that ensures hackers can't access your accounts and pretend they're you.

That's where the Duo Mobile app comes in. This innovative solution uses multifactor authentication to provide the safest, fastest, and most reliable way to complete your logins. With the Duo Mobile app, you'll receive push notifications on your phone or other device that will verify your identity and allow you to complete your login securely.

So, how does it work? It's simple. When you try to access a university website or service, such as MyUI, ICON, Office 365, or Employee Self Service, you'll be prompted to enter your Hawk ID and password in Step 1. In Step 2, you'll receive a push notification on your phone that will ask you to verify your identity by completing the login process.

This two-step process provides an extra layer of security that prevents hackers from accessing your accounts even if they have your password. With Duo Security tools, including the Duo Mobile app, the university is able to manage this two-step login process with ease and efficiency.

If you're not already using Two-Step Login, now is the perfect time to enroll. As a student, you'll be required to use Two-Step Login to access MyUI, ICON, and Office 365 starting October . Don't wait until it's too late - sign up today and take advantage of this extra layer of security.

Remember, your academic and employment records are just as important as your financial information. Protect them with the Duo Mobile app and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're taking an extra step to keep your data safe.
