Two-factor authentication methods come in many flavors: One-time passcodes (OTP) are sent via text message (SMS), read aloud on the phone, generated on hardware tokens, and displayed on mobile devices.
Since the launch of Duo Security, customers have taken advantage of the self-enrollment feature, which allows users to set up their own two-factor authentication devices after authenticating with their primary credentials, most commonly username and password.
> Does your company use Google Apps, Office 365, Salesforce or Box? Protecting access to these cloud applications with only a username and password is insufficient for today’s user targeted attacks. We can try to train employees to use different passwords everywhere, but password reuse is inevitable.

Deploying the right two-factor authentication system makes a big difference, both in user acceptance and actual security afforded. We created Duo Security to make two-factor authentication painless to deploy and simple to use.
