Duo Multi-Factor Authentication

Duo security logo

Brandeis requires authentication using the Duo service. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) using Duo serves as an extra layer of security designed to prevent unauthorized access to your account and personal information. MFA protects your Brandeis account by requiring two forms of authentication to verify your identity when logging into Brandeis services:

  • Something you know: Your Brandeis username and password
  • Something you have: A physical device (such as a mobile phone or tablet)

    You will also need to install the Duo mobile app on your device. If you are unable to install the Duo app, or if you are a new user and you require a different option, please contact the Technology Help Desk
