DUO Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a two-step process that requires both a password and a second verification using a smartphone or a small token device that you carry with you. The University of California is adopting an MFA product called “Duo,” and most UC campuses now require it—or will soon—to access institutional resources.
The campus is expected to transition to DUO MFA by October 15, 2019.
For assistance setting up DUO MFA, please visit the DUO MFA setup page (opens in a new window) .
Frequently Asked Questions
I've replaced or factory reset my phone. How do I get a new token?
If you still have your old phone with an activated software token, visit the Duo SupportDesk Enrollment page (opens in a new window) and use the Software Token Registration link to enroll your new device and delete the old one.
If you don’t have the old phone or you've reset it, you’ll need to open a ticket with OIT and provide your mobile number. Submit a request through the OIT help portal (opens in a new window) .
Additional guidance is available in the DUO MFA FAQ (opens in a new window) — look for the entry: "I've replaced my phone/factory reset my phone. How do I get a new token?"
Will DUO MFA affect my data plan?
No. DUO MFA does not impact your data plan. The DUO app only requires installation and does not use mobile data to generate passcodes when using a software token.
