Enrolling Users in Duo So They Can Directly Log In to a Departmental Account

ITS is in the process of enabling Duo two-factor authentication on departmental accounts, also known as shared accounts. This is the same Duo you are already using and will look and work the same way. Once Duo is enabled, any users who directly log into a departmental account with its username and password must be “enrolled” (i.e., associated with the account) in Duo. This will enable them to receive a Duo prompt that must be approved or denied during login.

IMPORTANT:

• Enrollment is necessary only for those users who log directly into the account with its username and password. This does not apply to users with delegated access to the account.
• If you attempt to log in to a departmental account for which Duo has been enabled but no devices are enrolled, you will receive an error message. Follow the instructions below and then log in to the account again.

For more information on how to access departmental accounts, visit Duo and Departmental Accounts.
