Tips on using Duo

Michigan Tech faculty and staff may access their 2019 Open Enrollment through MyMichiganTech or Banweb. We want to remind you that Duo Two-Step is used for this access. Below are some tips for using Duo. We also have more information about Duo in our Knowledge Base.

Setting up multiple devices

We recommend that you set up a secondary device in case you need to authenticate and don’t have your primary device handy. Some popular combinations our IT staff uses are:

  • Mobile device/office phone
  • Mobile device/home phone
  • Mobile device/token generator

Generate a security code with your mobile app

Trying to authenticate with your mobile device without cell service? No problem. Duo’s Mobile app acts as a token generator and can generate a one-time security code even if you have no cell service or WiFi. Just click the arrow icon on the right to generate a one-time security code.

click the arrow and Duo will generate a security code without cell service

Remember me

For your convenience, you can select Remember me for 30 days when logging in on your personal device and Duo will remember and not ask to authenticate for 30 days on that device.

check the remember me for 30 days for Duo to remember your device
