Here are some quick checklists to make sure you complete all the steps when you:
Enrolling in 2FA
Before you use 2FA, you must first create your 2FA account and enroll at least one device through the Duo Enrollment process. To complete your enrollment, do the following:
- If enrolling a smartphone (push notification):
- Download and install the Duo Mobile app by Duo Security on your smartphone from your device's App Store. The app is used to provide the second factor required during authentication to 2FA-enabled applications and services.
- Note: When configuring the app, enabling notifications improves your ability to authenticate using Duo Mobile.
- Enroll your initial device:
- Enroll additional devices:

Using 2FA with Web Applications
After completing enrollment, verify that you can access a 2FA-enabled application or service.

- Navigate to the 2fa.gmu.edu home page, click the 2FA Account Login button, and follow the prompts to log in.
- If you did not enroll a second device at initial enrollment, enroll an additional device now (e.g., yubikey, tablet, etc.).
