DUO

• 3 min to read •

Duo Security is a popular two-factor authentication (2FA) service that enhances the security of various systems and applications. Duo employs a multi-factor authentication approach, requiring users to provide something they know (like a password) and something they have (like a smartphone or hardware token).

Duo's 2FA is significantly enhanced security. By requiring a second form of verification, Duo makes it much harder for unathorized users to gain access to accounts, even if they have the password.
