CSUEB Duo Enrollment Guide
What is Duo Multi-Factor Authentication(MFA)?
Duo Multi-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your online accounts. Verifying your identity using a second factor (like your phone or other mobile device) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if they know your password.
