Step 2: Decide which two devices you want to use

Step 3: Setup your first device

Step 4: [optional] Add a second (or more) device

Step 5: Logging in

Step 6: Manage your devices


Step 1: Decide which method of authentication you wish to use

UH Login Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - Which authentication method should I use?

For more information about UH Login and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), go to https://www.hawaii.edu/its/uhlogin.

UH Login supports the following MFA methods:

  • Duo Push, using the Duo Mobile app on a mobile device (smartphone or tablet)
  • Duo Passcode, using the Duo Mobile app on a mobile device (smartphone or tablet)
  • Phone Call, using either a mobile phone or landline
  • SMS Passcode, using a mobile phone that supports SMS (text messaging)
  • Yubikey Hard Token, which is inserted into your computer's USB port

Review the following table for more information on the requirements for each method, and whether or not the method can be used when completely offline (no internet or telephone service).

  Requires a Smartphone (Duo Mobile App) Requires Internet Access (Mobile Data or WiFi) Requires Telephony (Mobile Network or Landline) Can be used offline
Duo Push YES YES NO NO
Duo Passcode YES NO NO YES
Phone Call NO NO YES NO
SMS Passcode NO NO YES NO
Yubikey Hard Token NO NO NO YES

Duo Push via the Duo Mobile App

If you have a supported mobile device, Duo Push is the recommended method. As long as your mobile device has mobile network or wi-fi service, authentication requests can be pushed to your device via the Duo Mobile app. You can download the Duo Mobile app to an iOS or Android device that meets the minimum requirements.

iOS Please see https://guide.duo.com/iphone for the supported version of iOS
Android Please see https://guide.duo.com/android for the supported version of Android

Once you have downloaded the Duo Mobile app and registered your mobile device, authentication requests will be "pushed" to your device through the Duo Mobile app. You would then open the Duo Mobile app and tap on "Approve" or "Deny" to approve or deny the authentication request.

Duo Passcode via the Duo Mobile App

The Duo Mobile app can be used to generate a passcode that can be used to login. Passcodes can be generated without requiring internet access, and can be used even if your mobile device is in airplane mode or otherwise not connected to a WiFi or mobile network with internet access. This is a great option to use when traveling or when in areas where access to the internet might not be guaranteed.

Phone Call

You can opt to authenticate via a phone call to a landline or mobile phone. When it's time to authenticate, you will receive a call on your registered phone number. You would then push "1" on your phone's keypad to authenticate, or push "9" to deny the authentication request.

Regarding phone numbers beginning with "+86"

Due to recent telephony restrictions by the Chinese government, Duo was previously unable to authenticate via phone call to users with +86 phone numbers. Users with a +86 phone number registered in Duo, would have seen the following notice:

 

As of May 10, 2019, Duo has resolved the issue and phone call authentication to +86 numbers are no longer being blocked. For more information, please refer to the following Duo knowledgebase article:

https://help.duo.com/s/article/5001

SMS Passcode

If you do not have a smartphone, but you have a mobile phone with SMS/text messaging capabilities, you can use an SMS passcode to authenticate. When requested, one (1) passcode will be sent to your phone as a text (SMS) message. Once an SMS passcode is received, the passcode can be saved and used even if your mobile device is no longer connected to a mobile network.

Yubikey Hard Token

A hard token (sometimes called an authentication or security token) is a hardware security device that is used to authorize a user. UH provides Yubikey hard tokens for purchase. The UH hard token is a usb device and must be inserted into your usb port to be used. You would then touch the hard token anytime you wanted to authenticate. If you do not have an available usb port, you cannot authenticate with the UH hard token. Hard tokens are not recommended and should be purchased only if you cannot use any of the other above means for authenticating.

For information on purchasing a UH hard token, please visit https://www.hawaii.edu/sitelic/tokens/


Step 2: Decide which two devices you want to use

ITS strongly recommends that you setup at least two devices for MFA. This is so that if one of your devices becomes unavailable (e.g smartphone forgotten or lost), you can still authenticate. Some samples of multiple devices could be:

  • Smartphone and office landline
  • Smartphone, office landline, and home landline

Once you have decided which two (or more) devices you will use for MFA, proceed to the next step (Step 3) of setting up your first device. If you have already setup one device, you may proceed to step 4 to add more devices.


Step 3: Setup your first device

UH Login Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - Getting started with your first device

For more information about UH Login and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), go to www.hawaii.edu/its/uhlogin.

Before going through this article, please review UH Login Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - Which authentication method should I use? to determine which authentication method suits your situation best. Once you have decided which method to use, use this document to register your first device. This document will explain how to register a mobile device, landline, or tablet as your first device to use for MFA.

We strongly recommend registering at least 2 devices. For example: a smartphone and an office landline. Please refer to UH Login Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - Managing Devices for information on managing registered devices, or UH Login Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - Adding Devices for information on registering additional devices.

Step 5: Logging in

UH Login Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - Logging in with MFA

This article explains how to login through the UH Login page using the different MFA methods. Please note that ITS strongly recommends that you setup at least two devices for MFA.

*As of December 30, 2023, the traditional Duo prompt has been replaced with the Duo Universal Prompt (UP).

New Default Device Behavior

The Duo Universal Prompt (UP) does not allow you to set a default device like the traditional Duo prompt allowed.  The first time you login after the December 30 update, Duo will automatically send a Duo request to what they deem the most secure authentication method you have configured for your account.  Listed below are the most to least secure methods of authentication as published by Duo:

  • Duo Mobile push approval
  • YubiKey passcodes
  • Duo Mobile generated passcodes
  • Non-Yubikey Hardware token passcodes
  • SMS passcodes
  • Phone call approval

For example, if you have a Duo Push device setup, the Duo UP will automatically send a push to that device.  You may click on the Other options link to see your other options:

If you pick a different authentication method, Duo will remember what you last used and will use that method by default the next time you are presented with the Duo UP.

 

New "Remember me" behavior

With the Duo UP, there is no longer a "Remember me for 7 days" checkbox.  Instead, the first time you login under the Duo UP, you will see the following screen after authenticating:

  • If you click on the "Yes, this is my device" choice, you will not be prompted again to authenticate with Duo for 7 days (equivalent to checking the "Remember me for 7 days" checkbox)
    • On your next login after the 7 days has passed, you will be presented with the Duo UP, but will not be presented with the "Yes, this is my device/No, other people use this device" choice. Instead, from this time on, there will be a "Remember me" checkbox that should be checked (equivalent to checking the “Remember me for 7 days” checkbox).


       
    • Should you clear your browser’s cookies/cache, you will be presented with the “Yes, this is my device/No, other people use this device” choice again.
  • If you click on "No, other people use this device", you will not be asked this question again for 7 days (unless the browser's cookies/cache are cleared), and will be presented with Duo each time you login (equivalent to NOT checking the "Remember me for 7 days” checkbox).
  • If you clicked on the "No, other people use this device" choice accidentally, but you had actually wanted to remember their device, the only way to get Duo to prompt "Yes, this is my device" again is to either a) wait 7 days, or b) clear browser's cookies/cache. For instructions to clear your browser’s cookies/cache, please visit https://hawaii.edu/askus/1801.

There is more information on the new "Remember me" behavior at: https://guide.duo.com/universal-prompt#remembered-devices.

Available MFA methods

The following are the different MFA methods that are available:

 

Duo Push (smartphone, tablet)

If you have a Duo Push device setup, the Duo UP will default to automatically sending you a push.  You will be presented with the following screen after entering your UH username and password:

A notification will appear on your Duo Push device:

  • iOS: Press and hold on the notification, then tap on Approve to approve or Deny if it is a fraudulent request. You may have to unlock your device.
  • Android: Tap on Notifications. You may have to unlock your phone. Tap on Approve to approve or Deny if it is a fraudulent request.

Optionally, and if it appears, click on the Yes this is my device option if you are using your own computer. This will prevent the Duo UP from prompting again for 7 days. See the New “Remember Me” behavior section for more information.

Unless clicking “Other options” and selecting a different authentication method, Duo UP will automatically push future authentication requests to your Duo Push device. See the New Default Device behavior section for more information.

For further information on the Duo Mobile app, please refer to Duo's guides:

iPhone: https://guide.duo.com/iphone
Android: https://guide.duo.com/android

Phone call (mobile phone)

Note: if you have a Duo Push device setup, you will first have to click on Other options before you can use the phone call method.
 


If you have a mobile phone device that does not have Duo Push setup, you will see the following screen. Click on the Call phone button.

A phone call will be placed to your mobile phone. Answer the call, then press 1 on the mobile phone's keypad to approve or press 9 to report a fraudulent request.

Optionally, and if it appears, click on the Yes this is my device option if you are using your own computer. This will prevent the Duo UP from prompting again for 7 days.

SMS text codes (mobile phone)

To select SMS text codes the first time you login under the UP, you will need to click on Other options:

Then, click on Text message passcode.

A passcode will be automatically sent to your phone.  Enter this passcode and click on Verify.

Optionally, and if it appears, click on the Yes this is my device option if you are using your own computer.  This will prevent the Duo UP from prompting again for 7 days.

If it is not the first time you are using SMS passcodes, the following screen will appear instead. Click on Send a passcode.

A passcode will be automatically sent to your phone.  Enter this passcode and click on Verify.

Duo App-generated codes (smartphone, tablet)

The Duo App will generate codes that will allow you to login, even if your smartphone or tablet does not have wifi or cellular data service.

At the Duo Push screen, click on Other options.

Click on Duo Mobile passcode.

Open the Duo Mobile app on your phone or tablet.  If needed, expand the "University of Hawaii" section so that the (6 digit) code is displayed:

Enter the displayed code into the Passcode box, and click Verify.

Optionally, and if it appears, click on the Yes this is my device option if you are using your own computer. This will prevent the Duo UP from prompting again for 7 days.

Landline

If you had last logged in with a different method, you may have to click on Other options.

Then select Phone call (Call "Landline" option):

If you have a landline setup on your Duo account, or if Landline was your last used authentication method, you will see the below screen. Click on Call phone.

 


A phone call will be placed to your designated landline phone. Answer the call, then press 1 on the Landline's keypad to approve or press 9 to report a fraudulent request.

Optionally, and if it appears, click on the Yes this is my device option if you are using your own computer. This will prevent the Duo UP from prompting again for 7 days.

UH Hard Token

The UH hard token is a usb device that you would insert into your computer's usb port. You would then "touch" a specific area of the hard token to authenticate. UH hard tokens can be purchased through the ITS Site License office.  Please visit www.hawaii.edu/sitelic/tokens. Both USB A and USB C hard tokens are available.

To authenticate using a hard token, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the hard token into your computer's USB port prior to any login attempts. Note for macOS users: the first time you insert a hard token into a Mac, you may be told, "Your keyboard is unrecognizable" or "Your keyboard cannot be identified". This message can be ignored; close the window by clicking on the red dot in the upper left.
     
  2. If it is the first time you are trying to authenticate using a hard token, you will need to click on Other options when you get to the Duo MFA window.

    Once you see the green checkmark, click on Continue.
