We have identified an issue with Duo Authentication when signing into Office Apps on Windows computers. After Duo, the application just hangs and you are unable to activate Office. We are currently investigating.

Microsoft Entra MFA / Microsoft Authenticator replacing Duo
Starting Today, September 16th, Florida Atlantic University will begin transitioning Employees from DUO to Microsoft Entra MFA for secure login to Microsoft applications.
What’s Happening:
- Employees will begin seeing a 4P prompt to setup the Microsoft Authenticator when signing into FAU Services.
- After enrolling, Entra MFA will be activated for all Microsoft apps (Outlook, Teams, Office 365, etc.). Duo will remain for non-Microsoft logins until we fully transition in the next few months.
What You Need to Know:
- You can choose from:
- Microsoft Authenticator app (recommended)
- Hardware token (e.g., YubiKey)
- SMS text message
- Additional options coming soon
