Use this guide to self-enroll in the Duo MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) service used on campus with a landline.
UC Davis is enforcing a new security measure to protect campus computing accounts, known as Duo MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication). Essentially, when your campus computing account is protected with Duo, it means that in addition to your UC Davis username and password, you’ll need a third thing which only you can access, when you authenticate using your campus computing account. We recommend using a smartphone as that third thing as almost all iPhone/Android/Windows Mobile phones will work.
If you are unable to use a landline for any reason, please consider one of the other methods below or create a Helpdesk ticket for further assistance.
