Applies To:

Steps:
A security key plugs into your USB port and when tapped or when the button is pressed it sends a signed response back to Duo to validate your login.
In order to use a security key with Duo, make sure you have the following:
You can enroll your security key during the initial self-enrollment process or, if you have already enrolled in Duo using a different device (like your mobile phone), you can add your security key as an additional authentication device from the device management portal.(Click Add a new device from the menu on the left-hand side)
Select Security Key from the list of devices and then click Continue.
Make sure that pop-ups are not being blocked for the page.
Click OK for any pop-ups regarding the key. You may also get pop-ups from your browser/computer.
The security key enrollment window automatically tries to locate your connected security key for approval.
When enrolling your security key, you will be prompted to tap to enroll your security key (possibly more than once). You may also be asked if you want to allow Duo to access information about your security key (click Allow or Proceed as applicable).
You will see whether the security key identification was successful or not. If it was not successfully, remove the key and start the steps over.
