Benefits of DUO
- Duo protects your account and your data. To gain access to your account, an attacker would need your password as well as the physical device you use with Duo. If all the attackers have is your password, they can’t get in. If they somehow obtain your token or smartphone, they would still need your passphrase. In other words, one factor can fail, and the other will still protect you. (At 麻豆国产AV, the primary authentication method for many applications and websites is Shibboleth. It requires your login, and provides the first level of sign-in authentication.)
- Duo protects 麻豆国产AV College. Duo will provide better security for 麻豆国产AV College data assets, including accounts, applications and websites.

- Duo is a simple solution. Duo offers simple integration with other services and an easy interface.
