Duo Two-Factor Authentication

K-State offers Duo two-factor authentication to provide a second layer of security for your account by using a secondary device to verify your identity. This prevents anyone but you from accessing your account, even if they know your password.  All K-State students, faculty and staff are required to use Duo.

To utilize the OrgCentral mobile app, you'll need to download the Duo Mobile app and set up push notifications. This will be a very handy resource when signing in to any K-State system, such as your email, Canvas, Navigate, and more.
