- Duo Security Two-Factor Authentication – Two-factor authentication enhances the security of your uLogin account by adding a second step to the login process. In addition to your password, you will be required to verify the login is authorized by approving a notification from an app on your smartphone or by entering a one time passcode displayed in that app. Drew has partnered with Duo Security to offer this service. All faculty, staff, and contractors with uLogin accounts are required to be enrolled in Duo Two-Factor authentication. To enroll and manage your devices, you can access the self-service site at drew.edu/duo. More details and instructions for enrollment in the system are available in our guide to Enrolling in Duo Security.
