News & Events

Coming Soon: Changes to Duo

Two important changes to Duo authentication methods are coming this spring. As cybersecurity attacks and phishing attempts become more sophisticated, we remain vigilant in our efforts to keep the Smith community safe and your data protected!

• Starting April 14, when you use the Duo Mobile app to approve login requests, you’ll be required to enter a verification code in the app–this helps prevent accidental approvals. See how it works.

• After May 27, text message passcodes and phone calls WILL NO LONGER WORK to approve logins! (Pushes to your phone will still work)

  • • If you already use the Duo Mobile app on your phone or a security key to approve login requests, you are all set. We recommend making sure you have at least one backup device available in Duo in case you forget or lose your primary device.

    • If you currently rely on texts or phone calls, please switch to another method soon to ensure you can access your Smith account after the change. Students--don’t wait! Make the changes before you leave campus.

For more information and instructions, visit the Duo project page.
