U2F Token

Duo allows you to register a U2F Token as a second factor device. This token is a small device designed to carry on a keychain that plugs into a USB port on your computer. We use a U2F token called a YubiKey, but all U2F tokens require the use of the Chome web browser and access to a USB port to function. If you have a newer Macbook, you may be required to use a USB-C to USB adaptor to use this option. While on the Duo screen, you will plug in your YubiKey to an available USB port on your computer. The key symbol on the token will begin to blink, and once it does you will touch the key symbol. Once Duo has recognized that the YubiKey has be touched you will be authenticated and given access to your account.

Passcode Generator

There is another hardware token option available called a passcode generator or a digipass token. This is a small device designed to carry on a keychain that generates a 6-diget one-time use passcode when you push the green button on the device. These tokens need to be registered to you by the Help Desk. While on the Duo screen during login, you can click on the "Enter a Passcode" button - even if you did not select the token from the device dropdown menu. Anywhere that offers the "Enter a Passcode" option will accept a passcode from any registered device of yours that generates a passcode, including your digipass token. Once you enter the passcode, click the "log in" button and you will be given access to your account.
