Stay safe on devices - at school and beyond

Teachers and staff use personal devices for work, and Duo makes it easy to keep them secure. With Adaptive Access, admins can check device health inside or outside school, supporting both work and remote learning. If your school uses a VPN or SSH for remote access, Duo integrates seamlessly—and might even eliminate the need for a VPN on personal devices while adding login security.

Effortless MFA for teachers

Duo keeps schools secure without disrupting teachers! With SSO (single sign-on), Duo simplifies MFA (multi-factor authentication) by letting users verify their identity once during an admin-set timeframe—no interruptions needed. Duo’s flexible MFA also supports tools like Touch ID, time-based one-time passcode (TOTP), and more, giving schools the freedom to choose what works best.

Duo MFA satisfies FERPA, SOC2, K-12 CS Act and more:
