Duo Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) offers an extra layer of security to your Carleton account. Instead of relying only on a password, 2FA requires you to prove your identity in two ways: something you know (your password) and something you have (a registered device like a phone or tablet). All current faculty, staff, and students are required to setup Duo for their Carleton account.
Getting Started:
- Follow these instructions for the Carleton account Duo sign-up process. You may need to download the DUO Mobile through the App Store or Google Play.
- If you need to re-configure Duo on a new phone or add another Two-Factor device, follow the Duo Enrollment Guide.
No cell reception or internet? No problem.
If you do not have a phone or have a problem with the current one, or if you need a secondary authentication device, you can request a small token that generates access codes for you each time you need one. These are especially useful if you will be traveling to areas without reliable US cell reception or wireless internet.
To request one of these authenticators, sign up for Duo as described above, configure at least one phone, and then call or email the ITS Helpdesk. We need at least one week’s notice to make sure we have an available device and can properly link it to your account.
