    Why Duo

    What is Duo?

    Duo is a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) tool that significantly increases the security of your login by combining something that you know (your password) with something physical that only you possess (such as a smartphone). 

    Beginning July 1, 2024: DPS will change which Duo multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods will be available after the 2023-24 school year ends. The phone callback option will no longer be available for Duo. Use the Duo Mobile app and select the Duo Push option for your smartphone. The app is free and is the quickest, most secure and convenient method available. 

    Duo Mobile will also have a new look. The functionality will be the same, however the interface will have an updated look and feel. 

    Beginning February 8, 2024: Duo Mobile will no longer support Android 10 and iOS14 operating systems (OS). There will no longer be any maintenance or security updates. Please update your phone to the latest OS for best performance.

    Beginning May 3, 2023: Duo will be activated for all applications behind the DPS blue login screen. This includes applications such as Infinite Campus, True Pay, Destiny, and others. For a complete list of the applications that will be Duo protected, please see the Duo MFA Protected List

    How Duo Mobile App Interacts with Your Smartphone

    Duo is a trusted Cisco product. Cisco is one of the largest security corporations in the United States. They keep the minimum amount of information to ensure that it is only your unique phone logging into DPS protected systems.

    Your Camera

    Duo Mobile only accesses your camera when scanning a QR code during enrollment/activation. If your camera is not working, or you do not feel comfortable allowing access to your camera, you can select “Email me an activation link instead”. 

    VPN and Employee Self Service Login 

    The Duo Mobile app only interacts with Duo.com when you are logging into important DPS applications such as GlobalProtect VPN and Employee Space. 

    Security Issues

    Duo will identify and inform you of potential security issues on your device. This will not restrict your access and you choose whether or not to address the identified issues on your device.
