Complete Multi-factor Authentication with Callback


NOTE: Starting December 2, 2025, the phone call back method for Duo, the university’s multi-factor authentication tool, will change. Instead of being able to press any key to log in, users will need to press 1 to log in and will be able to press 6 to report fraud. After the change, you will need to listen carefully to the voice prompt instructions when you receive a Duo authentication request via phone call and press the appropriate key to respond.

After logging into a campus system or service through the Central Authentication Service (CAS), the Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) prompt will be displayed. Call Me will be offered as a possible authentication method.

The Call Me option allows you to use a mobile or landline telephone number as a second form of authentication. If selected, this option will dial a number connected to your iOS or Android device, or to a landline/phone number that is registered.
 
To learn how to add a phone number for callback to your Multi-factor Authentication Profile, view the Enroll a Phone Number in Callback article.

To complete MFA using the Call Me option, follow the steps below.

  1. Log into CAS. Under Choose an authentication method, click Call Me.
    Click Call Me
  2. You will receive a call with the following message on the phone number listed in your MFA Profile:
    • Welcome to Duo. If you were not expecting this call, please press 6 to report fraud. Otherwise, press 1 on your phone to log in.
      *User presses key*
      "Thank you, goodbye."
  3. Press 1 to verify your identity and complete the authentication process. Press 6 to report fraud.
