DUO - Two Factor Authentication

DUO serves as the University's Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) security product that provides an extra layer of protection when accessing online services.

You may need to use it to access Office365, financial documents, and a number of other sensitive/important services. 

Users unable to use DUO for any reason should be routed to the ITS Service Desk (512-475-9400).

UTMail Business Account

As of 10/09/2018, two factor authentication is required to use a business class UTMail account. Note that this is managed through Google - DUO is not used for UTMail access. 

Instructions:

  1. Transfer to ITS Service Desk (512-475-9400)
    1. NOTE: The queue is long (30-60 minute wait), so warn them about the wait and do a COLD transfer to the Service Desk
  2. Service Desk will switch the account to personal, help them setup 2FA, then switch it back to business account
