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.

Two-factor: Enter Code

*Note: To register a hardware or software token to your Duo account, first contact the ITS Help Desk. After verifying your identity and contact information, we will manually add the token to your account.

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.
