Diving into Duo We use Duo authentication as part of our commitment to protecting your personal information and ensuring secure access to our systems. Duo’s two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring both something you know (your password) and something you have (a mobile device or hardware token).
What Does 2FA Stand For?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) — The practice of adding a second unique authentication method to user identity verification at login. This means even if someone gets hold of your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the second factor.
What is MFA?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a crucial security practice because it significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access. By requiring multiple forms of identification, MFA helps protect sensitive data from cyber threats such as phishing, password theft, and account breaches. Implementing MFA is an important step in safeguarding both personal and organizational information, providing peace of mind for all users.
