Multi-Factor Authentication services at the University of Maryland are provided by Duo. Duo provides enrollment and authentication interfaces that have been designed with accessibility for all end users in mind. Duo authentication interfaces adhere to the international technical standard for accessibility, W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. In addition to adhering to the WCAG 2.0 AA standard, Duo interfaces are also designed to meet the GSA Section 508 standards.
To ensure continued achievement in meeting accessibility standards, Duo interfaces are tested for accessibility using the following methods:
Magnification and Screen Readers
Duo interfaces are tested manually using both magnification and screen readers, including Nonvisual Access' NVDA screen reader and Apple's VoiceOver.
Contrast Checkers
Font colors and backgrounds in Duo interfaces are tested against contrast checkers and improving contrast for keyboard focus.
