Duo | What to Expect - When Will I Use This?
What is Duo? Duo is a two-factor authentication app that adds an extra layer of security when accessing applications. When properly enrolled, you'll be able to access applications outside the hospital. Applications that use Duo to authenticate: Whenever you attempt to log in to an application that is connected to your Office 365 account for the first time - 8x8, Freshservice (IT Service Desk), mobile Outlook, Teams, and Concur are examples - you will be required to approve the login through Duo. Assuming you have already enrolled in a mobile device to enable you to approve logins, the process is very simple. 8x8 Email Teams Concur VPN VPN will always authenticate through Duo. You must have the VPN security permission as well. Not all job titles get this by default. Most department heads and employees that work outside the hospital with have this access. If you work mostly in the hospital but may have to work from home, you'll most likely have to request VPN permission. You'll need to visit the Service Catalog and look for "VPN." WellSky does NOT use Duo. WellSky has it's own authentication process when working outside the hospital. You can either use VPN or use SMS (texting.) Texting is a permission itself and not automatic. You will need to request this in the Service Catalog of the ticketing system under "WellSky Remote Access." Check your email immediately - You should already have a Duo enrollment email in your inbox. This is time sensitive and will expire. Failure to enroll will result in problems setting up mobile Outlook, and 8x8 on your mobile device. This will require you to open an incident with the IT department so a new Duo enrollment email is sent out. The process to approve through Duo is very simple. With your enrolled mobile device nearby, after you type your username and password into one of these connected applications, you will receive a push notification from the Duo app. You can pull down on the notification banner and tap Approve, or tap on the notification and then tap the Approve button in the app. Related Articles What to expect from enrollment Email enrollment How to authenticate Receiving multiple pushes

Why is push the best authentication method? It’s quicker than a text or a phone call Authenticating with a text message requires waiting to receive the text, reading a passcode, and then typing it in. Phone calls require actually answering the phone, listening to the recording, and using the dial pad to approve the login. Duo Push is as simple as approving a notification on your smartphone.

Duo | Receiving multiple push notifications
Summary You may experience multiple push notifications from Duo that may have queued up. This may happen because you were trying to connect on VPN or were on VPN. Push notifications could also queue up from not responding to the push notifications. You will notice that if you keep on clicking on "Approve" nothing happens right away. Past "Approve" notifications will generally expire, so it's possible you're approving an older approval. Instructions Make sure it is you trying to log in. If you blindly choose to approve the push notification, you can potentially allow a hacker access to the system. Duo verification will make you verify when using certain applications linked to our network. Outlook, Landing, 8x8 will be every 90 days since these are applications using Single Sign-On (SSO). VPN will make you use Duo every time you try to connect. This is the most likely scenario you are experiencing with the multiple push notifications. 1. To help prevent multiple push notifications, log off of VPN when not in use. If you lose connection while on VPN, the VPN application will try to reconnect, and Duo will send out a push notification. If you don't respond after a certain amount of time, Duo will lock the account. It will auto-unlock after 15 minutes. 2. Ensure your mobile device is getting a signal. WiFi is preferred since it's a little quicker than the cell towers. 3. Be ready for the push notification. You can have the Duo app open on the phone, or just wait for it to pop up on your mobile device's screen. If you use an Apple phone along with an Apple watch, you can approve through the watch. Troubleshooting 1. If you want to help prevent multiple push notifications from queuing up. Disconnect from the VPN when you are done with it. If you don't, you could potentially received multiple push notification if you lose VPN connection. 2. If you received multiple push notifications already. Reboot your computer and start fresh.

Duo | Receiving Bypass Code message
Summary If you're attempting to access an application like Outlook, Teams, 8x8, or anything that interacts with our network using your computer login, you may encounter the "Bypass code" prompt. This prompt typically appears when attempting to access applications outside of our network. If you happen to be in a hospital, enrolling in Duo is not an issue as it is whitelisted on our network. This helps to minimize work disruption. In the past, enrolling was a significant challenge because it wasn't being done, and it affected the Agency personnel who lacked the necessary license. This hindered their ability to enroll. The Bypass Code message happens because you're accessing an application outside of our network but past the enrollment window. You'll need to create a ticket. There is NO bypass code to be given. The system relies on the user enrolling in Duo. Please create a ticket for enrolling in Duo. When you create an incident for this issue, your ticket will be escalated to our System Admin. Expect a Duo enrollment email. The enrollment process will look similar to this solutions article: https://nobis.freshservice.com/support/solutions/articles/16000052919

Duo Enrollment from Home (outside of hospital)
First-time Enrollment in Duo Enrollment is the process that registers you as a user in Duo with a device capable of performing two-factor authentication. Duo prompts you to enroll the first time you log into a protected VPN or web application when using a browser or client application that shows the interactive Duo web-based prompt. Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your Duo authentication device. Instruction When employees are onboarded, Duo is automatically part of a permission that is granted. You should already have a Duo enrollment in your company email inbox. The link within the email does have an enrollment time before it expires. We have found out that the enrollment email will sometimes fail to send to the user. If this happens, a ticket will be required for IT to resend the enrollment. Try to enroll immediately if you're new or assisting a new hire. Not everyone requires Duo, but if you use Microsoft Teams or use company email outside the hospital, you will need Duo. WARNING: It's not advisable to enroll for the first time outside the hospital as this seems to cause confusion to most. If you're new to the company and work in a hospital, please enroll from the hospital by checking your company email. If you don't find a Duo enrollment email in your inbox, please create a ticket with your IT department asking for a new Duo enrollment. Ensure you've signed into the computer at the hospital first before proceeding. You will have to visit the hospital if you don't do this. 1. To enroll in Duo outside of the hospital, you'll need access to a computer. Please do not use a mobile device for enrollment to access the link in the next step. You won't be able to scan the QR code if you do. 2. Open up a browser, it doesn't matter which one, and type https://outlook.office.com in the address bar of the browser. 3. You will see a Microsoft login page. You will type in your COMPANY email. 4. The next screen is when enrollment begins. Again, you will type in your COMPANY email and password that was used to sign into the computer while in the hospital. This step can't be completed unless you create a password. 5. Duo will have you go through some acknowledgments, and you will need to scan the QR code from your mobile device. Once this is done the next step is critical and most often the most failed step. Please follow this step carefully! Do NOT enter a phone number. Instead, click on "I have a tablet." If you followed the steps correctly, then you're enrolled.
