Service Description
Duo Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) helps protect Odin accounts by adding a second layer of security when you sign in to certain systems, such as PSU's Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Single Sign-On (SSO). SSO is the system that enables you to use your Odin account to access certain university resources through a web browser, such as: Gmail, myPSU, Banweb, and Cognos. Duo 2FA is required for SSO for all employees.
Service Details
To access a Duo 2FA-protected system, you must combine your Odin account information with a secondary credential delivered through your phone, mobile device, hardware token, or security key. This prevents anyone else from signing in with your account, even if they know your password.
