Affordable Pricing Options for Duo Second Factor
Worried about whether your password will be enough to keep your critical information safe? Sick of trying to pick and remember
increasingly long and complex passwords? Maybe your university
should be thinking about multifactor authentication, combining
a password (something you know) with something you have (such as your phone).
InCommon and Duo Security offer two affordable pricing models for phone-based second-factor authentication, including $5/user/year (minimum of 500 users) with no paperwork or special agreement, or a site license covering faculty and staff, or faculty/staff/students. See www.incommon.org/duo
