Students looking to access Duke’s online services and portals are now required to input a second form of verification—such as a code sent to a mobile phone or tablet—in addition to their NetID and password.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides an extra layer of security before logging in to an online service. At Duke, multi-factor authentication is required for many sites, including Duke@Work.
Duke uses Duo to provide MFA services through a registered phone or YubiKey. A passwordless alternative, Duke Unlock, is available on supported devices.

February 13, 2017Last November, Duke professor Gary Gereffi returned from a research trip to Kazakhstan and was informed by his IT department that his computer had been hacked. Days earlier, a colleague at Harvard University sent Gereffi an email with an attachment to a scholarly paper. Unbeknownst to both professors, malware inflected the attachment, and as soon as Gereffi opened the document, hackers could peer into Gereffi’s computer and steal his data.
