Duo FAQ for Ecampus

What is Duo?

Two-step login, powered by Duo, protects your OSU account by verifying your identity with two forms of ID:

  • Something you know, such as your password.
  • Something you have, such as a phone, temporary passcode or security key.

Why do I want Duo?

Duo is mandatory for everyone at Oregon State. You will not be able to log in to OSU systems until you activate Duo, and you will be locked out of Canvas.

The benefit of protecting your OSU account with Duo is that you can reduce the risk of someone gaining access to your account. If someone has access to your OSU account, they could:

  • Change your financial aid direct deposit
  • Commit identity fraud
  • Read and send your email
  • See student health records

How do I use Duo?

The Duo Mobile app for iOS and Android is the most popular option for authenticating with Duo.

We also support security keys, and even Touch ID on some MacBook laptops.

How do I take proctored exams with Duo?

Some Ecampus courses require you to take proctored exams. Duo authentication will be required when taking proctored exams, but you will not be allowed to bring most Duo devices (including cell phones and security keys) into proctored exam environments. Instead, you must generate a temporary Duo code no more than 24 hours in advance of any proctored exam and bring the code with you to log into Canvas.

If you are unable to log into Canvas due to an issue with Duo, please contact the IS Service Desk at 541-737-8787 or submit a help request.
