Why Duo?

We have chosen Duo Security as our multi-factor authentication solution because of these benefits:

Duo protects your account and your data
To gain access to your University account, an attacker would need the physical device you use Duo with along with either your passcode/phrase or fingerprint/facial recognition. If all the attacker has is your University credentials (username and password), they can't get in. One factor can fail, and the other will still protect you.
Duo protects Loughborough University
Duo will provide enhanced security for the University’s data assets, including accounts, applications and websites.
Duo offers flexibility
The simplest way to use Duo is via a free mobile app on your smartphone or tablet which will receive a push notification when you log in to a service which you need to approve. Alternative to the app is a hardware security token (a small device resembling a flash drive) however access to this is limited.
Duo is simple
Duo offers easy integration with other services and provides a simple user interface.
