During the spring semester of 2019, K-State faculty, staff, and some student employees began using Duo two-factor authentication as a second layer of security for the university’s online applications and systems.
Now K-State is offering Duo for all students! Early student enrollment is from Nov. 7 through Jan. 13. During the spring 2023 semester, Duo enrollment will be mandatory for all students.
To enroll in Duo, students must complete a short Qualtrics survey. After completing the survey, students will receive an enrollment email within three business days with details about how to enroll in Duo.
If you work directly with students, please encourage them to enroll in Duo. During early enrollment, students have the opportunity to win incentive prizes. Students can view K-State’s Duo website for more information about Duo enrollment.
Once enrollment is complete, Duo two-factor authentication will be required when students sign into K-State’s tools and services. At this time, Canvas will not be included.
If you are a faculty or staff member who is also a student, you are already enrolled in Duo and do not need to re-enroll.
Login credentials are more valuable than ever and are increasingly easy to compromise. Over 90% of breaches today involve compromised usernames and passwords. Two-factor authentication provides a second layer of security for your account by using a secondary device to verify your identity. This prevents anyone but you from accessing your account, even if they know your password.
