Passcodes for Duo authentication are being phased out on May 8

Passcodes are six-digit one-time codes that are typically generated by a hardware token and are also available through the Duo Mobile app. If you are using Verified Duo Push, you will not be affected by this change.

Verified Duo Push sends a 3-digit code to your phone and is currently used by most of the OSU community.

Two-step Login

With two-step login, anyone trying to access your account must provide two forms of ID:

  • Something you know, such as your password.
  • Something you have, such as a physical security key or a mobile app.

Some services and websites refer to this as two-step authentication, two-step verification, multifactor authentication, or login verification.
