    Why you should use 2FA for Duke University?

    Duke University is a prestigious institution that values the security and privacy of its students, faculty, and staff. One way to ensure this is by enabling 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your Duke account. 
     
    
     2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a second form of authentication, such as a code generated by our Authenticator app, in addition to your password. This makes it much harder for hackers to gain access to your account, even if they have your password. 
     
    
     Enabling 2FA is quick and easy, and it can save you a lot of trouble down the line. It's especially important if you use your Duke account to access sensitive information, such as financial or medical records. 
     
    
     Our Authenticator app is a great way to store your 2FA codes securely. It's easy to use and free to download. Plus, it's available on all major platforms, including iOS and Android.
