Duo Mobile
Multifactor authentication through Duo Mobile ensures secure access to Pitt systems protected by Pitt Passport. It combines something only you know—your password—with something only you have—your phone.
With the Duo Mobile app, you get an alert on your phone after logging into Pitt Passport. Just click “Accept” and you’re in. If someone is trying to get into your account, click “Deny” and change your password to keep the hacker out.
Now, Duo is even easier to use with the Remember Me feature. From the Pitt Passport site, select “Remember me for 24 hours” and Duo won’t send you repeated alerts for the day, so long as you’re logging in on the same device.

And, don’t forget: In addition to the above, every member of the Pitt community has access to a variety of iOS and Android apps through Pitt IT.
