Duo to debut a new look Thursday
Beginning at 7 a.m. Thursday, March 14, you'll notice a new look and enhanced security for your Duo login experience with Duo Universal Prompt. The login process will remain the same: log into Shibboleth with your credentials and complete your 2FA authentication on Duo's website. What will change is that you'll be directed to a separate Duo website for the 2FA step. Previously, 2FA options were displayed within the University branding.
