DUO two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your FDU NetID. It requires two factors to verify identity. These factors include something you know – your FDU NetID and password, and something you have – a phone or passcode, to authenticate and gain access to your account on FDU services. Passwords alone no longer provide adequate protection against cyber hacking. DUO is required for all current FDU students. Please follow the steps below.

Install DUO Mobile App

The DUO app is available for Android, iOS and iPadOS. Use the links below to install DUO on your mobile device.

DUO Mobile App Setup

1. In a Desktop or Laptop browser visit the DUO Management Portal to begin the activation process by enrolling your device.  Activation requires scanning a QR code with the DUO app’s built-in scanner

DUO Management Portal

2. Duo prompts you to enroll the first time you visit the DUO Management Portal using a browser or a client application that shows the interactive DUO web-based prompt

Supported Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and Internet Explorer 8 or later. Some browsers do not support all of DUO’s authentication devices (for example, Security Keys won’t work with Internet Explorer). For the widest compatibility with DUO’s authentication methods, we recommend recent versions of Chrome and Firefox.

3. Click “Start setup” to begin enrolling your device

4. Select the type of device you’d like to enroll and click “Continue“. We recommend using a smartphone for the best experience, but you can also enroll iOS/Android tablets

5. Select your country from the drop-down list and type your phone number. Use the number of your smartphone or cell phone that you installed the DUO Mobile Security App on in the Step 1

6. Double-check that you entered it correctly, check the box, and click “Continue“

7. Choose your device’s operating system and click “Continue“.

8. Click “I have DUO Mobile installed”

• If you have not completed installing the DUO Mobile App in Step 1 please complete now by following the platform-specific instructions on the screen. After installing the app return to the enrollment window

9. Activating the app links it to your account so you can use it for authentication

10. On iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone activate DUO Mobile by scanning the barcode with the app’s built-in barcode scanner. Follow the platform specific instructions for your device:

11. The “Continue” button is clickable after you scan the barcode successfully

• Can’t scan the barcode? Click “Or, have an activation link emailed to you instead” and follow the instructions

12. Once activated click “Continue” to complete registration

1. You can use Device Options to give your phone a more descriptive name, or you can click “Add another device” to start the enrollment process again and add a second phone or another authenticator

• If this is the device you’ll use most often with DUO then you may want to enable automatic push requests by changing the “When I log in:” option and changing the setting from “Ask me to choose an authentication method” to “Automatically send this device a DUO Push” and click “Save“. With one of the automatic options enabled DUO automatically sends an authentication request via push notification to the DUO Mobile app on your smartphone.

2. Your device is ready to approve DUO push authentication requests. Click “Send me a Push” to give it a try. All you need to do is tap “Approve” on the DUO login request received at your phone

With DUO activated on your account, and with your device enrolled, you are ready to use DUO. When logging in, you will have two authentication options. Review the options below to determine what works best for you.

There are two ways you can use DUO:

Push Notification

Once the DUO mobile app is installed, you can select to receive a DUO notification on your smartphone. Open the notification, and you’ll see a green checkmark, and a red X. Simply tap the “Green Checkmark” to gain access.

Passcodes

You can use the DUO mobile app to generate passcodes. This option does not require wifi or data, so this is a great option if you’re traveling or if you have limited or no cell/internet service. Open your DUO mobile app, tap the FDU logo and it will reveal a passcode. During login, choose the enter a passcode option, enter the code and you’re in.

If you do not have your device with you, don’t worry. You can contact the Fairleigh Dickinson University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC) for a temporary passcode. These passcodes can be entered in the DUO prompt on your computer.

To change settings or enroll another device, visit DUO Management Portal or any DUO-supported application. When you get to the DUO prompt, click the “Settings” button and choose to add a new device or access your settings.

DUO Management Portal

For commonly asked questions on using DUO, please visit the link below:

The “remember me” option is displayed by Duo when you sign in with FDU NetID on the web. After providing your second factor for authentication, Duo will present you with a prompt asking if you would like to have this device remembered for future logins. Selecting “Yes, this is my device” sets the “remember me” status for Duo.

Use the “remember me” option to reduce how often you have to sign in with two-factor authentication (2FA) on the same web browser. It’s safe to use on trusted computers and lasts for 30 days.

Refer to our Duo Quick Start Guide below for instructions on using the “remember me” option within the context of the overall sign-in experience.

What is the “remember me” option?

The “remember me” option is a feature of Duo that tells your browser to remember that you have confirmed your identity using your 2FA device. If you confirm that “Yes, this is my device” when authenticating with Duo, you won’t have to use your 2FA device as often on that browser. For example, if you use it on your computer at work, it reduces how often you have to sign in with 2FA at work; but your laptop at home will still ask you to sign in with 2FA.

Why would I want to use it?

The “remember me” option saves you time and reduces distraction by reducing how often you have to use your 2FA device. If you routinely use the Duo callback method, it also saves the FDU money in telephony costs.

Is “Remember Me” safe? Doesn’t it defeat the purpose of 2FA?

The “remember me” option is safe to use on computers and devices that you can trust to protect your browser. It doesn’t defeat the purpose of 2FA because the convenience it provides is limited to each computer and browser that you choose to use it on. If you or anyone else tries to sign in with your FDU NetID on a different computer or browser, 2FA will be required.

How long does it last?

The “remember me” option lasts 30 days. It saves a secure cookie on your browser to track the time until you need to use your 2FA device again. If your browser clears cookies this will remove “remember me” until you re-select it.

Why is the “remember me” duration 30 days?

30 days is the current “remember me” duration because it is often enough to remind you that 2FA is turned on, but not so often to be annoying. While some institutions use shorter or longer durations, 30 days is a common duration at peer institutions.

How do I clear it on my current browser?

If the “remember me” option is enabled on the browser you’re using right now, clear your cookies for duosecurity.com. To clear it on other browsers, repeat this process on each of them.

How do I reset it on a browser I no longer control?

If you enabled the “remember me” option on a browser you no longer control, Please open a support ticket by clicking Support at the top of the page, or visiting samisupport.fdu.edu.

I’m using the “remember me” option, and I still have to use my 2FA device more often than every 30 days. Why is that?

Some system owners require you to reauthenticate with 2FA every time you access their systems for security, regardless of using the “remember me” option (workday for example). This can increase how often you have to sign in with 2FA. If you find you are regularly asked for 2FA on some sites despite the “remember me” option, but not other websites this is likely the cause. Other contributing factors include how many different computers you use, how many different browsers you use on these computers, whether or not you use the “remember me” option on all of them, how your browsers are configured to use cookies, and how often you clear your browser cookies.

Why do some system owners override the “remember me” option and reauthenticate me every time I sign in?

System owners decide to reauthenticate you based on what institutional and personal data they need to protect, and what threats and risks they need to guard against. Some of them reauthenticate you because they are concerned about unauthorized access from unattended browser sessions, and forcing you to reauthenticate is one way to re-establish that it’s you.

Why isn’t the “remember me” option working for me? Are there things that prevent it from working correctly?

The “remember me” option requires the use of browser cookies, so it may not work as expected in these circumstances:

• You are accessing a site that overrides the “remember me” option
  
• You cleared your browser cookies
  
• You started using a different browser
  
• You started using a different computer or device
  
• You are using a private browsing mode
  
• You disabled the use of browser cookies
  
• Your browser doesn’t allow cookies to be saved
  
• You use a browser extension that blocks cookies

Who will be affected?

This may affect FDU community users using Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Android Devices with Android OS version 9 or lower, and Apple devices with iOS versions that don’t support TLS 1.2.

Check if you are using the supported endpoints by reading the information below:

Windows

Supported Windows operating system (OS) versions will support TLS 1.2 by default. If you are running a supported Windows OS, no action is required.

Unsupported Versions for Windows Operating Systems

Check OS Version

• Open the Windows Search box and type “About your PC” and click on “Open“
• Under Windows Specifications, check which edition and version of Windows your device is running

Enabling TLS 1.2 on your Operating System

If your operating system was manually changed to disable TLS 1.2 for some reason, you can verify or configure your system for TLS 1.2.

Before making any changes, create a backup of the registry:

1. In the Windows Registry Editor, locate and click the “Protocols registry key” or “subkey“
   that needs to be backed up
2. Click “File”, then “Export”
3. In the Export Registry File dialog box, select the filename and location of where to save the backup

After creating a backup of the registry, follow the steps below to enable TLS 1.2 on your system:

1. Click the Start menu, type “regedit” and press the Enter key. The Registry Editor window should be opened.
2. Navigate to follow the registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols
3. Check if the subkey of TLS v1.2 is enabled for both the server and the client. Each protocol’s state is controlled by two keys: Enabled and DisabledByDefault
4. Make sure the Enabled value is 1 and the DisabledByDefault value is 0 or missing, the protocol is enabled.
5. If the Enabled value is 1 but the DisabledByDefault value is 1, the protocol is disabled by default – it will not be used unless another host explicitly requests it during negotiation.
6. If the Enabled value is 0, the protocol is disabled
7. Restart the system to ensure the new settings take effect

DUO Mobile

Supported Duo Mobile applications running on supported OS versions will support TLS 1.2+ by default. If you are running a supported Duo Mobile application on a supported OS, no action is required.

• Supported Android OS versions: Android 10.0 and greater
• Supported iOS versions: iOS 14.0 and greater

Web Browsers

Common web browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc. with their latest version are supporting TLS 1.2.

Chrome and Microsoft Edge

1. In the Windows menu search box, type “Internet Options”
2. In the Internet Properties window, on the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section
3. Make sure the “User TLS 1.2” checkbox is checked

4. Click “OK” and restart the browser

Mozilla Firefox

1. Open the Mozilla Firefox Browser
2. In the address bar, type “about:config” and press “Enter“
3. In the Search Field type “tls”. Find and double-click the entry for “security.tls. version. min”
4. Make sure the integer value is 3 to force a minimum protocol of TLS 1.2

5. Click “OK” and restart the browser

We understand that upgrading your device is not always an option. In these instances, you can still use Duo Passcodes to perform multi-factor authentication.

1. To use this method, select “Enter a passcode” upon receiving your browser’s Duo security prompt

2. Next, open the Duo app and click “Show”. This will provide a six-digit passcode which you can enter into the browser prompt

3. Enter the six-digit passcode from the DUO app and click “Log in”

To maintain a secure and productive Microsoft Teams experience at Fairleigh Dickinson University, it’s important to understand how to manage external communication requests, recognize brand impersonation attempts, and report suspicious content. This guide offers clear, step-by-step instructions to help you stay secure while using Teams.

Managing Incoming Requests from External Users

To ensure your Teams environment remains secure, review and manage requests from individuals outside of FDU before accepting any communication.

Steps to Manage External User Requests:

1. Initial Notification: When someone outside FDU tries to initiate a chat, you will receive a notification indicating they are external to your organization

2. Review the Request: Examine the name and any provided details. Be cautious of unfamiliar or suspicious names
3. Choose an Action:
   • Click “Accept” if you recognize the individual and have a valid reason to communicate
   • Click “Block” if the person is unfamiliar or seems suspicious. Blocking prevents further contact

Protecting Against Brand Impersonation in Teams Chat

Microsoft Teams now detects potential brand impersonation attempts automatically. This feature alerts you if an external user’s message seems suspicious.

Steps to Protect Yourself:

1. First Message Analysis: Teams evaluates the external user’s name and email for impersonation risks
2. High-Risk Alert: If a potential threat is detected, Teams will display a prominent warning with one or more of the following:
   • The sender’s name or email resembles a known FDU entity
   • No previous communication history with the sender
   • The sender is outside your organization

3. Review the Message Content: Click “Preview their messages” and read the message carefully. Watch for urgent requests or unusual links/attachments
4. Second Warning (If Applicable): If you proceed to accept, Teams may display another warning about the associated risks

5. Make Your Decision: Use the alerts and message content to decide whether to continue the conversation

Reporting Suspicious Content

Reporting suspicious messages, calls, or users within Teams helps FDU’s security team manage potential threats effectively.

Reporting Messages from Internal User:

1. Hover Over the Message: Place your cursor over the suspicious message.
2. Click the “More options” (…) icon > More actions > Report this message.

1. In the dialog that opens, verify Security risk – Spam, phishing, malicious content is selected, then click “Report”

4. In the confirmation dialog, click “Close”

Reporting Messages from External Sender:

If you receive a suspicious message from an external sender (e.g., @outlook.com, @live.com), the “Report this message” option in Teams will not be available.

To report a suspicious message from an external source, you must create a SAMI support ticket:

1. Click “Get Support” button located at the bottom of this article
2. Create a support ticket and include all relevant details about the suspicious message

In the past, website subscriptions and renewals were approved by University Systems and Security (USAS), as the department held the role of both Information Security and Networking. An email would be sent to the department, and approval would be gained via an email response.

With the separation of Information Security from University Systems and Networking (USAN), a new process has been created to better serve those within the FDU community that utilize external websites for services.

Moving forward, requests for website subscriptions and renewals should be requested through this form below:

If information is missing, a representative of UTAC might reply inquiring more about the request. When all information has been gathered, the ticket will be forwarded to our Information Security Officer. They will review the request, engage the Networking team if necessary, and then either approve or deny the request (via email response) or inquire further, before closing out the ticket.

We hope this new process will help identify, track, and move requests quickly through the process.

Network Optimization

If you are experiencing issues while using FDU Anywhere, please use the following tips as guidelines to help improve your experience.

Power-cycle your Modem/Router

Power cycling your modem and router allows them to reset and re-establish a connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Shut down your computer and unplug your modem/router. Plug them back in after 60 seconds and watch the lights on your modem/router. Once the lights are on and steady, start your computer.

Keep all your Local Components Up-to-date

Check that your modem/router and your local computer are totally up to date. This includes the operating system, driver, and browser updates.

Disconnect/Turn off any Devices that are not in use

Some devices could be using bandwidth while on standby. Gaming consoles, for example, might download and install updates. Turn off these devices to keep your bandwidth free.

Use an Ethernet Cable

Using a wired Ethernet connection will make your connection more stable and eliminate additional latency compared to a wireless connection.

Change your Wi-Fi Configuration

If a wired Ethernet connection is not possible or your device requires a wireless connection:

• Connect to a 5GHz wireless network. Some routers offer both 2.4GHz connections and 5GHz
• Place your devices (such as a computer or smartphone) and your router closer to each other

As part of an ongoing effort to combat phishing scams and enhance email security, the Office of Information Resources and Technology (OIRT) is implementing the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) protocol. DMARC monitors mass mailing, hosted vendor applications, and mail servers used to send emails on behalf of the University (e.g., fdu.edu, wc.fdu.edu).

Important Email Delivery Requirements

For Individual FDU NetID Users

No action is required. You can continue to use Outlook as you normally would.

For Mass FDU Email Users

Fairleigh Dickinson University prioritizes information security and is enforcing these email authentication standards to ensure reliable and secure email delivery. All non-FDU services used by FDU users and departments must adhere to these best practices to ensure proper delivery of emails to FDU recipients. Failure to comply will result in email delivery failures.

If you plan to use any new service to send emails to FDU users, you must submit a DMARC Request form at least one month in advance. For any existing email delivery issues, submit a SAMI ticket.

DMARC Form

As an FDU user, you generally won’t need to manage the technical details of DMARC unless specifically requested by OIRT. While DMARC is typically managed by your email provider, individuals or departments using external services like CRM tools (e.g., Constant Contact, MailChimp) for bulk emailing must ensure that DMARC is enabled within those platforms. This helps prevent messages from being marked as spam.

OIRT will provide guidance and work with the service provider after you submit a DMARC Request form.

For those interested in the technical aspects of this email security standard, continue reading below.

How DMARC Works

DMARC is an email authentication, policy, and reporting protocol that operates in two primary ways:

• It detects unauthorized activity and specifies how to handle unauthorized emails (e.g., placing them in the spam folder).
• It identifies legitimate senders, including emails sent by FDU or approved/verified email services.

DMARC uses two key technologies to verify emails:

What is it?

Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) verifies the identity of an email sender to prevent email spoofing. It acts as a unique electronic signature, allowing recipients to confirm that a message claiming to be from you was indeed sent by you.

Why is it important?

DKIM helps email hosts (e.g., Microsoft, Google) detect phishing attempts. By verifying the message’s signature, DKIM ensures that the sender address belongs to its rightful owner and confirms that the message has not been tampered with during transit.

How does it work?

DKIM adds a hidden, unique digital signature to your outgoing emails. A public “key” is published online under your domain or subdomain. When a recipient receives your email, their system uses this public key to verify the signature. If it matches, the email is confirmed as authentic and unaltered, helping it reach the inbox and preventing spoofing.

What is it?

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is like a digital “authorized senders” list for a domain. When an email arrives, the recipient’s system checks whether the sending server is approved by the domain owner. If the server isn’t on the list, the email may be flagged as spam or rejected.

Why is it important?

SPF helps prevent spammers and phishers from forging the “from” address in email messages. It allows email hosts (e.g., Microsoft, Google) to verify that the server sending the email is authorized to send on behalf of the specified domain.

How does it work?

Your email provider (e.g., Microsoft 365) publishes a list of authorized servers that can send emails on behalf of your domain. When a recipient’s mail server receives a message, it checks this list to verify the sending server. If the server is authorized, the message is considered legitimate. If not, the recipient’s mail server may reject, quarantine, or flag the message as spam based on its policy.
