All faculty, staff and students have the ability to use the Duo Text passcode Authentication Method.

TECH TIP: We strongly recommend installing the "Duo Mobile" app on your smartphone or tablet to provide the most convenient and secure experience. For instructions, please use the "How do I Set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with Duo Mobile on my UNCW Account?" knowledge base article.

If this is your first time accessing UNCW applications, such as Office 365, Duo will use the most secure method you have available to you ( e.g.Push) and will automatically send a Duo Push to your device. To switch to Duo text passcode, click "Other Options."
Next, choose "Text message passcode."
Duo will send a passcode to your phone and you will enter it in the passcode box, then select "verify."
