Two-Factor Authentication

Flux and other ARC resources require two-factor authentication with both a UMICH password and Duo in order to log in.

Duo provides several options, including a smartphone or tablet app, phone calls to landlines or cell phones, and text messages. Information about two-factor authentication and instructions on enrolling in Duo are available on the Safe Computing website.

Using two-factor to login

The following is an example of what opening a session on Flux might look like.

 3. SMS passcodes to XXX-XXX-1810

Passcode or option (1-3): 1
