DUO is a cloud-based authentication service that increases the security of online accounts by making it harder for an attacker to impersonate an authorized user. DUO's authentication factors are the username and password (something the user knows) and a device (something the user has.) An attacker may be able to steal or guess the username and password but without verification from the user's device will not be able to use the login information.
You'll set up DUO in your Classlink settings and on your personal cell phone or district issued iPad. It's easy and only takes a few minutes. IMPORTANT: You can only set up ONE mobile device for authentication and you'll need this device nearby any time you log in to district resources.
Section 1 - Download The App
Download the DUO Mobile app to your phone or tablet. The screenshot below is from an iPhone but the name and icon are the same on an Android or iOS. If you are not able to install the app please do not continue with these directions and submit a help ticket.
Your device must meet the minimum OS versions bellow.
Please update to the most current version supported by your device.
iOS - 12.0
Android - 8.0
Duo Mobile will be available for download in Meraki to staff enrolled iPads. You may choose to use your district iPad or your personal device but not both. Be aware if you choose a district iPad you will have to have it with you each time you're prompted to authenticate.
Log in to Classlink on your computer.
Click Start Setup.
For mobile phone setup, please go to section 2.
For tablet setup, please go to section 3.

Section 5 - Final Step
Launch the Duo app on your mobile device and tap Add Account (or + at the top.)
You will be prompted to give camera access to the app then will be able to scan the QR code that is displayed on your computer from the DUO setup steps.

Section 6 - How It Works
Log in to Classlink and you'll see the window below.
Click on Remember me for 30 days then click Send Me a Push.
(Note: When the Remember me box is checked, you will not be prompted for DUO authentication for 30 days as long as you are logging in on the same computer and browser. If you need to use another computer or browser to log in, the Remember me box will need to be checked again.)
IMPORTANT: For security reasons please do not select the "Remember Me"
option on the Newline displays.
Depending on how you have your notifications set up, you'll get a banner or some type of notification to tap on. You can also just open the app.
Tap the Approve button and you'll be logged in.
It's that simple to protect your data!
