Setting up Duo Mobile:

Using the Duo Mobile (app) is the preferred and fastest way to authenticate. Duo's self-enrollment process makes it easy to register your cell phone and activate the Duo Mobile application so you can receive Duo requests via push notification and tap to approve and log in. 

1. You will receive an email from Duo Security with the subject line 'Duo Security Enrollment. This email will contain an enrollment link. Click the first link in the email to start your enrollment. Note: If you try to log in on an ESU sign-in page (like Canvas) you will be prompted there if you try to sign in before you see the email- Start with Step 2.

You will receive an email from "no-reply@duosecurity.com" to your student email.

The contents of the message should say the following:

2. Upon clicking the link or signing into your account for the first time you will be prompted with the following screen:

Welcome to Duo Security Message


3. After getting started we need to setup our first device. We recommend starting with Duo Mobile. It may be tempting to use the "Windows Hello" or Thumbprint option however these methods often cause users troubles especially when attempting to sign into another device. Using the "Duo Mobile" option will allow you to sign into any device with your credentials and for as long as you have your cell phone on your person you will always be able to sign in.

4.  This screen requires that you enter your phone number. Duo will use your phone number to associate you to your account and can also be used to receive text messages to your number.

5. After entering your phone number you will be prompted to receive a passcode and verify that code. Once you have input the code and the system verifies your identity you will be prompted with the next screen. This is also where you are prompted to install the Duo Mobile app to your smart phone.

6. Now back on your computer you can now add the "Windows Hello" or your Thumbprint as an approved device if you would like. Otherwise click "I don't want to add any more devices".

7. You can now sign in with Duo. You will be prompted every time you sign into a new device. When signing in, open the Duo app on your phone and click "Approve" if the log in is for you or "Deny" if it is fraudulent and is not you signing in.

After pressing "Approve" you will see this window next. If you select "Yes" you may not need to use Duo to verify next time you sign in. If you are using a computer that you primarily use you can select yes otherwise select no.
