What is it and why use it?

Duo is a tool that provides two-factor authentication to better protect your account by requiring an additional piece of information beyond your username and password. When you access CSU services utilizing Duo, you will be required to use a device that you have (your mobile phone, desk phone, a hardware token, or other device) to provide an additional layer of security to your account.

For detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to sign-up/enroll and add a device, please see:

There are links at the bottom of the PDF to additional instructions on how to install & register a mobile device.

Please visit Division of IT’s website to get started:

Once you have enrolled in Duo and activated a device and/or phone number, you may use CSU services utilizing Duo, like the GlobalProtect agent or gateway (https://gateway.colostate.edu) to connect to resources on-campus. See How-To’s below.
