EASY, ONE-TAP 2FA
It's fast and easy to log in securely with Duo Push, the more secure method
of two-factor authentication supported by Duo Mobile. With Duo's single-tap,
user-friendly interface, users can quickly verify their identity by approving
push notifications before accessing applications. It's just as quick to deny an
unfamiliar login attempt, so users can easily stop fraudulent attempts to access
company data.
Duo Mobile can also generate time-based one-time (TOTP) passcodes that users can
type into their login prompt to complete the two-factor authentication process.
> Before Duo, we had hundreds, if not thousands of attempts to compromise user
> accounts almost daily. Since implementing Duo, we don’t see it as much. Not
> only is Duo a second line of defense but it also scares the attackers off.

WHAT IS A 2FA MOBILE APP?
A 2FA mobile app is a smartphone application that helps users log on to other
apps with more security. Two-factor authentication is a type of tool used to
verify an online user’s identity. There are a variety of different types of
second factors, or ways to verify said user’s identity. For instance, some 2FA
apps require users to verify their identities with their fingerprints, or
biometrics.
Other 2FA apps utilize push notifications, which require identity verification
with a non-biometric tap of the screen. Some 2FA apps, like Duo Mobile, combine
location-based identity verification with push verification, sending users a
reading of their location and the option to tap the screen to confirm.
A 2FA APP IN ACTION
When a Duo Mobile user from Austin, Texas logs on to Salesforce on their work
computer, they receive a notification from their 2FA app. When they open the
notification, they see that their location-based authentication reading is
coming from Austin, Texas. The user is in the location their 2FA app identified,
so they can confidently tap their screen and verify their identity when they log
into Salesforce.
2FA APP PREVENTS MALICIOUS ACCESS
If that same user receives a Duo Mobile notification to verify a Salesforce
login when they have made no login attempt themselves, they know that a bad
actor is trying to access their data. When they open the 2FA app to view the
notification, they then see that the login attempt came from Kraków, Poland.
They now have the location of the bad actor and can immediately report the
malicious behavior to their company’s administration.
THE BENEFITS OF USING A 2FA MOBILE APP
The Duo Mobile App helps users take an active role in protecting their accounts.
SECURITY CHECKUP
By providing a security score of users’ devices, Security Checkup empowers users
to maintain the security hygiene of their mobile devices via Duo Mobile
notifications. This feature is available on iOS and Android through Duo Mobile.

DUO RESTORE
Provide your users with the ability to back up and restore their Duo Mobile app
with Duo Restore. This feature allows Android and iOS Duo Mobile users to back
up their Duo-protected accounts and recover them when they get a new device — no
help desk ticket needed.

HOW DO I USE A TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION APP?
From an end user standpoint, using a 2FA mobile application is a simple but
important part of securely accessing data. After a 2FA app has been properly
installed onto a user’s device, be it a personal device or company-managed
device, they then can enroll their individual logins in the service.
Some 2FA solutions like Duo integrate seamlessly right out of the box. After
setup is complete, the user will be asked to confirm their identity at every
login by use of their 2FA mobile app. That means that when the end user logs
onto Microsoft Outlook, their device that the 2FA app is installed on will now
prompt them to verify their identity before granting them access to their
emails.

MFA AUTHENTICATION APP VS. 2FA APP — WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Multi-factor authentication apps and two-factor authentication apps are
identical except for one key difference: how many different types of
verifications are used. While 2FA refers to a second or additional identity
verification method added to a password or PIN, MFA refers to verification that
uses more than two additional identity verification methods. This means that a
2FA app is a type of MFA app. Let’s break it down a little further:
MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION OR MFA
MFA is an access security solution. There are multiple ways to verify with MFA
(push notifications, biometrics, location, etc.). MFA is often used in
authenticator apps to support other factors of verification, or by itself. In
short, MFA is simply 2 or more verification methods added to a password or pin.
Example: A user logs on to their Gmail account with their username and password.
Their MFA app asks them to both verify their location and provide their
fingerprint before granting them access to their account.
TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION OR 2FA
2FA is also an access security solution. Like MFA, there are multiple ways to
verify with 2FA (push notifications, biometrics, location, etc.) 2FA is often
used in authenticator apps as well. All this said, 2FA is actually a type of
MFA, but instead of using multiple factors of verification, 2FA only refers to
MFA that uses single verification method added to a password or pin.
Example: A user logs on to their Gmail account with their username and password.
Their 2FA app asks them to verify their location before granting them access to
their account.
AUTHENTICATION CONTROLS FOR EVERY USER
Duo Mobile supports multiple authentication controls — from push notifications,
to biometrics, to passcodes — while maintaining a consistent, intuitive user
login experience. Allow your users to choose the method that best meets their
needs and easily update their preferences at any time.
