Users will login into IMSe normally by entering their password or using the current Single Sign On link through the Unite application.
After login Users will be prompted with a welcome message and a series of questions:
Users will be prompted with (3) ways to Multi Factor Authenticate (MFA) into IMSe depending on their PC. We recommend choosing either Windows Hello or Duo Mobile as Hardware Keys will be associated with a cost and need to be plugged into the device in order for users to log into IMSe.
- Windows Hello (if supported by the PC) uses features like fingerprint, facial recognition, or a device-specific PIN that is bound to the device and harder to intercept than a password.
- Duo Mobile will have the user download the Duo app to their phone and utilize features like Duo Push: A one-touch verification method where you approve a login request from a notification sent to the Duo Mobile app on your smartphone or tablet or Mobile Passcodes: If you don't have an internet connection or prefer not to use push, you can enter a time-based one-time passcode (TOTP) generated by the Duo Mobile app.
- Hardware Security Keys (Only if a or b will not be used): A physical WebAuthn/FIDO2 security key which can be used by plugging into your computer. We do not recommend this option, however, if it is what you want to do, a device will need to be purchased for each person that does not want to use options a or b above.
The links to the supported devices are here:
Following along and choosing option (b) Duo Mobile will then ask the users for their mobile number, confirm it and direct the users to download the app.
Once the app is downloaded then users will pair the app with IMSe by scanning a QR code and linking their login with their Duo App. Once paired, they will receive a Setup Completed! Page with a button to finally login using the Duo prompt or code.
Now that Setup is Complete …..Your next Log In after you enter your password will do a Duo Prompt.
And your phone will look like this:
Or you could use the Mobile Passcode under other options which will be located on the app:
