How to set up Touch ID for Duo
Touch ID for Duo
Touch ID is a fingerprint recognition feature included in recent Apple MacBook computers. Touch ID can be used as a second-factor method with Duo in some circumstances. Duo considers Touch ID to be among the more secure second-factor methods, and it may also be more convenient for some users than other methods. Currently Touch ID for Duo will only work in the Chrome web browser.
Requirements
- Requires a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with a Touch ID button
- Fingerprint must already be configured for use in macOS
- Currently only works in recent versions of the Chrome browser (version 70 or later)
Navigate to the Duo Device Management Portal.
Select "Add a Device".
Select "Touch ID" from the list of options.
Select "Continue" to set up Touch ID.
Confirm using Touch ID to sign in.
You will receive a confirmation that Touch ID has been added as a verification method.
You should now be able to sign in using Touch ID.
- After setting up Touch ID it will be usable as a second-factor authentication method
- When logging in to a Duo protected application, select "Touch ID" from the devices list (if it is not selected already)
