Summary

Instructions for device management in Duo 2FA.

Body

NOTICE: Beginning Monday, November 14, 2022, all users of Duo will no longer have access to the “Call Me” option when authenticating. All other options are still supported.

If you have received a new mobile device/phone number and need to add it (or remove an old device/phone number) from your Duo Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) you can do so using the instructions below. 

NOTE: You will still need access to the device/phone number currently registered for Duo 2FA. If you no longer have access to your old device/phone number, you will need to contact the Service Desk at msu.servicedesk@murraystate.edu

Go to the myGate login screen and enter your myGate username and password.

NOTE: If you have previously set your browser to remember you for 30 days, you will need to either switch to a new browser or use a private browsing (incognito) session. To open a private browsing session, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows/Chrome), Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer) or Command+Shift+N (Mac).

Before accepting any authentication (via a push or otherwise) click on the Other options link on the bottom.
