About

Duo is a multi-factor authentication service that is used to add a second layer of defense against unauthorized access to employees accounts.

It works by adding an additional login credential - above and beyond your username and password - to gain access to your account. Typically, this second credential will be available through something only you own, for example your cellphone. This stops others from gaining access to your account even if they have knowledge of your username and password.
