If you would like to receive a passcode to access applications requiring multi-factor authentication, DUO will ask you to choose an option for authenticating: “Call Me”, “Enter Passcode”, or “Send Me a Push”. Select “Enter a Passcode” and select “Text Me New Codes”. DUO will send a text containing the passcode to your registered device.
If you elect to have a passcode sent to your device, you will only need to use the passcode when you wish to access applications requiring multi-factor authentication. The passcode is only good for a limited time. You do not need to keep it. If you need to access the same application again, you can generate a new passcode.
After you enroll in DUO, you will only need use multi-factor authentication to access applications requiring multi-factor authentication, but you only need to register once in order to take advantage of the protection that DUO provides.
If you have any questions or need assistance, you may contact your local department’s IT support group or helpdesk. You can also find instructions online at https://howtomfa.untsystem.edu.
