DUO (Multi-Factor Authentication)

Yale University uses DUO MFA to verify identity using a second factor (like a mobile device, landline or hardware token) thereby preventing anyone but the user from logging in and adding security to your account.

For assistance with DUO please contact Yale ITS Help Desk Call 203-432-9000 Email helpdesk@yale.edu or Submit a ITS Helpdesk Ticket

Please read the full MFA guide which describes how to enroll your first device.

You will use your registered device to verify identity when accessing Yale resources. You can also setup DUO to do this using voice call, push notification or one-time pass code. If you have a smartphone, we recommend using the Duo Mobile application and push notification.

Yale University ITS recommends everyone have at least two options set up for DUO multifactor authentication (DUO-MFA). You can link multiple devices to your account, you can use your mobile phone, a landline or tablet as your second factor.

Enrolling your first device

  1. When you are initially enrolled in Multifactor Authentication (DUO-MFA), you will be able to set up a device and download the app for DUO at https:mfa.its.yale.edu
  2. log in with your NetID and password. It will detect you have no enrolled devices and begin the enrollment process exactly as in the enrollment email. Just follow the on screen instructions to complete setup.

Enrolling additional devices

  2. Enter your NetID & NetID password
  3. In My Settings & Devices
