i) If this is your first time using Duo Security two-factor authentication with GlobalProtect at ANU, you need to activate your device following instructions here: https://servicesguide3loojdzlzc2qo3h5kobgxwz5m5yopjl6xhpciudmeovptidn4ydmuqd4fynq%40mail cl Ugo= . Please Note: if prompted, use your AD password NOT your O365 one when logging into Net ID Self Service page; OR

ii) If you already have an activated device, please select it from ‘What type of device do you want?’ drop down list then click SEND ME A PUSH or CALL ME to receive a login code; Enter that code into ‘Enter passcode’ text box then click LOG IN;

iii) Alternatively, if neither of Push nor Call options is possible or preferable, choose ENTER A PASS CODE option then generate a new temporary code by clicking either Get Passcodes… button (this may require Adobe Flash Player so please install it beforehand if needed), OR by opening Duo Mobile App on your phone – tap key icon next to ANU item then swipe right across ANU entry in My Devices screen to reveal 6-digit codes; back in browser window insert one of those codes into ‘Enter passcode’ text box just generated within last 30 seconds and click LOG IN button;


4b) Students – You won’t be prompted with any extra security as Two Factor Authentication set up is not compulsory for students **at this stage** though we strongly encourage everyone who can set it up to do so for their own accounts’ protection sake!
