Dear OSU Community,

As part of our continual efforts to ensure that Oregon State University and its community are protected

from cyber threats — particularly phishing — we are making adjustments to Duo to further increase our

security capabilities. As a result, you will see a new screen after logging in to an OSU service using your

ONID credentials, beginning on Monday, October 30.

Current Duo Screen

New Duo Screen

How will this impact me?

While there is no direct impact and no action required on your end, we wanted to notify the community

ahead of this change to reassure you that this is a legitimate Duo login screen and not a phish.

Will there be other changes in Duo security measures coming up?

Yes. We are taking steps to enable Verified Duo Push for the OSU community. Verified Duo Push will

impact the way users engage with Duo to approve a login request. Instead of sending you a push

notification asking you to approve the request, Duo will show you a one-time, unique verification code

that you will need to enter in the Duo Mobile app. We will notify the OSU community before we activate

Verified Duo Push.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please contact the Service Desk at

beav.es/help or by calling 541-737-8787.

Respectfully,

David McMorries, Chief Information Security Officer, Office of Information Security
