Click Here to enroll into 2-step verification

When first enrolling into Duo please allow for 10 to 15 minutes enrollment time. Click here for detailed instructions.

The enrollment process must be fully completed after clicking the “Enroll or Manage 2-Step Verification” button.  If the Duo enrollment is not fully completed after clicking the enrollment button you may be locked out of your Fresno State accounts i.e Canvas or My.Fresnostate.edu

2-Step Verification

2-Step Verification (2-factor authentication or 2fa) adds a second layer of security to your FresnoState account, keeping your account secure even if your password is compromised. Verifying your identity using a second factor such as your desk phone, mobile device, or token prevents anyone but you from logging in even if your password is compromised.
