Duo Mobile end-of-life for Android 8/9 and iOS 13
Effective February 9, 2023, Duo Mobile will no longer support Android 8 or 9 and iOS 13.
What is changing?
Google and Apple deploy new operating systems (OS) as major releases every year. As part of these release cycles, older Android and iOS operating systems stop receiving important updates and go through end-of-service and end-of-life phases. To anticipate these OS deprecations, Duo will no longer support Duo Mobile on Android 8 or 9 and iOS 13. Duo Mobile will continue to be fully supported on iOS 14, Android 10, or newer.

Students can enroll in Duo beginning on Nov. 7
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. Continue reading “Students can enroll in Duo beginning on Nov. 7”
Enroll in Duo now for your chance to win Apple AirPods
Your login credentials are more valuable than ever and are increasingly easy to compromise. Over 90% of breaches today involve compromised usernames and passwords. Cybersecurity is a major concern in our technology-driven world, and K-State is compelled to be more vigilant.
To keep your personal information safe, K-State offers Duo two-factor authentication to provide 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. Many of you may already use two-factor authentication in your personal life for online banking or streaming services.
In 2023, Duo two-factor authentication will be required for all students when they sign into K-State’s tools and services, including webmail and KSIS. At this time, Canvas will not be included. However, K-State wants you to be protected now, so we offer an early enrollment option with incentive prizes!
Early Duo enrollment is from Nov. 7 through Jan. 13. Students who enroll early will be entered into a drawing to win a pair of Apple AirPods. During the early enrollment event, K-State will give away 20 pairs of Apple AirPods. To learn more about the incentive prizes, view K-State’s Duo website. The 20 winners will be drawn on Feb. 1, 2023.

Personal CatFiles/Y: Drive will be retired on Nov. 10
Earlier this semester, it was announced in K-State Today that the Y: Drive was being retired. The Y: Drive became read-only in preparation for retirement on October 14.

On OneDrive, the transferred files were placed in a folder titled Y_Drive_(department code).
At 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 10, the Y: Drive will be officially retired and no longer accessible. Thank you to the K-State community for your cooperation with this project. Continue reading “Personal CatFiles/Y: Drive will be retired on Nov. 10”
