You're Protected with Duo Multifactor Authentication

Multifactor authentication, provided by Duo Security, adds another layer of security to your online accounts when using Pitt Passport. Two “factors” are required to verify your identity when you log in to a service. You'll need something you know (your password) and something only you have (such as your mobile phone, on which you will receive a login confirmation notice).
