Upcoming Changes to DUO Authentication

To the FAU community,

FAU will be expanding DUO multi-factor authentication requirements to additional services beginning June 16, 2022.

There is no action required. However, services such as the FAU Helpdesk and Canvas will begin requiring DUO authentication as part of the log-in process for everyone that has not previously opted to use DUO with these platforms.

In addition, all users will be signed out of any Office 365 applications they are currently signed into and will be required to log in again. Applications include Outlook, Sharepoint, Teams, and Onedrive. While this should be a one-time occurrence, you may receive multiple prompts to log in if you are signed into multiple applications or mailboxes.

Due to these enhancements, FAU will no longer be forcing regular password resets based on the age of the password. FAU will continue to enforce password resets in instances when an account is compromised or is believed to be compromised.

If you experience any issues signing into DUO-enabled applications, please contact the Helpdesk at 561-297-3999.
