Adding a Security Key

 


What is a Security Key? A security key is a small USB device that you plug into your computer to authenticate to Duo with a single tap to log securely into your Smith account. Note: Some browsers do not support all of Duo's authentication devices (for example, Security Keys won't work with Internet Explorer). For the widest compatibility with Duo's authentication methods, we recommend recent versions of Chrome and Firefox. You can pick up a security key in the IT Service Center, located in Stoddard Hall 203.
