DUO
Duo adds an extra layer of security to Texas A&M NetID accounts. With Duo two-factor authentication, NetID accounts are protected with something you know (a password) and something you have (a Duo-enrolled device - typically a mobile phone).
We are pleased to inform you that Architecture Technology Services has recently acquired a new DUO Enrollment Station. This addition will simplify the enrollment process and enhance user convenience.
Duo enrollment stations
Technology Services is making Duo two-factor enrollment easier with a self-service kiosk on the main Texas A&M campus at Help Desk Central & additional locations. This kiosk enables the campus community to enroll a second device by swiping any Texas A&M ID at the kiosk.
