Multi-Factor Authentication - Set Up

Below are instructions on how to set up Multi-factor Authentication for your NDSU services.

1. Open a web browser and go to the NDSU Account Managementsystem, and then log in with your NDSU electronic ID and password. 
   • Note: For easier enrollment, open the setup page using a computer and have your secondary device nearby. 
2. Click Multi-Factor Authentication in left menu. 
3. Click Enroll in Duo. 
4. Click the Start Setup button and follow the prompts to add a mobile phone (recommended), tablet (e.g., iPad, Nexus 7), or landline. 
   • Be sure to use your own phone number when setting up Multi-Factor Authentication, NOT your parent/guardian's.
   • If using a mobile phone or tablet, you may be prompted to install the Duo Mobile app. 
   • For in depth step-by-step instructions, please see the Duo enrollment guide. 
5. Once completed, you will have access to NDUS systems protected by Multi-Factor Authentication. 
6. After you set up the first device, we recommend setting up an additional second-factor device to ensure you are able to log in even if you do not have access to your primary device. 

1. If you are not yet logged in to the NDSU Account Management system, open a web browser and go to the NDSU Account Management system, and then log in with your NDSU electronic ID and password.
   • Note: For easier enrollment, open the setup page using a computer and have your secondary device nearby. 
2. Click Multi-factor Authentication in left menu. 
3. Click the link "Opt in for MFA at NDSU" 
4. Approve the multi-factor prompt to complete the opt-in process
