Two Part Authentication

How do I use Two-Factor Authentication?

Enroll in Two-factor Authentication by visiting: https://twostep.apps.upenn.edu

During enrollment, select your primary and backup verification methods. You can choose to:

• Install the free Duo Mobile app(Recommended!) on your iOS or Android smartphone to receive one-touch push notifications or, when no cellular or wi-fi connect is available, generate single-use verification codes to enter into your browser.
• Receive text messages with verification codes on a mobile phone.
• Receive automated phone calls to a number you specify in advance.
• Use a keychain fob to generate single-use verification codes (see your LSP for more details).
• Print out pre-generated single-use verification codes.
