On iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone activate Duo Mobile by scanning the QR code with the app's built-in barcode scanner. Follow the platform-specific instructions for your device. The "Continue" button will become clickable after you scan the barcode successfully.

Select the authentication method for access to applications requiring multi-factor authentication. We recommend choosing “Ask me to choose an authentication method” to start with. Once you’ve used the Duo app a few times, you can change the setting to suit your preference.

Once you have a security key, you must first contact IT Central to be provided the appropriate access for using the key. IT Central will send you an email once you have been provided the appropriate access.

If you are setting up the security key using NFC, have the security key ready to bring close to the device when prompted. 

Once access is provided, go to multifactor.newschool.edu to begin enrolling the device

If prompted, click "Next" through the Duo welcome screens.

*If you already have a device enrolled with Duo, use that device to approve the multi-factor authentication to get to the Duo device manager.

If using NFC, after clicking Continue you will see a prompt on your device asking if you would like to use the security key. If you are actually wanting to use the security key using NFC you should bring the security key close to your device where the NFC reader is located. NFC readers can be in different locations depending on your device. Please refer to your device's specifications to determine where the NFC reader is located. You can then skip steps 8 and 9.
