Log in with two-factor authentication

When you log in to an ODU service with Monarch-Key (Canvas, Leo Online, student email, etc.), you'll be asked for a second authentication method after entering your MIDAS ID and password. Select one of the following options:

Using Duo Push for smartphone/tablet

Select the desired mobile device from the Device drop-down menu, then select Send me a Push. Duo Push will send a push notification to your device.

Two-factor: Send Push

On your device, click on the push notification and select Approve when the Duo app opens.

Using a passcode from the Duo app

Select the desired mobile device from the Device drop-down menu, then select Enter a Passcode/Bypass Code.

Two-factor: Send Code

Open the Duo Mobile App on your device and touch the Key icon to generate a code.

Enter the code in the Passcode field and click Log In. You'll be taken to the service you are logging in to.

Two-factor: Enter Token Code

Using the token option

If you have a token generator or Yubikey registered to your account, you may use the token option to authenticate. Select Token from the Device drop-down, then select Enter a Passcode.

Two-factor: Use Token

Enter the passcode generated from your hardware token, or prompt your Yubikey to enter a code. Then select Log In. You'll be taken to the service you are logging in to.

Remember Me

The 'Remember Me' feature allows you to bypass the need for two-factor authentication for seven days.

Enter your MIDAS ID and Password, as usual. But prior to authenticating with two-factor, select Remember me for 7 days. You'll be taken to the service you are logging in to.

Two-factor: Remember Me

Please Note: The Remeber Me feature is cookie-based, and will only bypass your two-factor method on that particular browser session. If you clear your Internet cache/cookies, switch Internet browsers or use another computer, you will be asked to authenticate with your second factor again.
