Duo Push Notification

Duo Push Notification is a 2FA method that enhances security by requiring users to approve authentication requests through a mobile device. This method simplifies the login process while adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.

How Duo Push Works

  • Push Notification: When a user attempts to log in, a push notification is sent to their registered device through the Duo mobile app. The user then taps "Approve" to verify their identity.

  • Real-Time Authentication: The approval request is processed in real-time, providing instant authentication without the need for manually entering codes.
