All student accounts now enrolled in Duo MFA

Add your second-factor device to access university services

May 9, 2022 —

All student accounts were enrolled in Duo multi-factor authentication (MFA) on Wednesday, May 4. By Friday, 20,000 students had already added their second-factor device(s) to Duo.

Adding a second-factor device completes your Duo enrolment so you can access all MFA-protected services.

How to add your second-factor device

Option 1:

You can add your device by doing the following:
1. Open a browser (Google Chrome is recommended) and go to http://portal.office.com.
2. Enter your UM email address and password.
3. Duo will prompt you to add your second-factor device. Follow the prompts to complete your setup.

Option 2:

Duo will prompt you to add your device the first time you log in to an MFA-protected service like UM email.

If you want to see what adding a device in Duo looks like before you proceed, please review our text-based instructions:
