information about Duo, visit buckeyepass.osu.edu. We
recommend registering more than one device so you have a backup
if your device is lost, stolen, broken or otherwise
unavailable. The verification options will vary depending on what
devices you have registered (i.e., Duo mobile push, passcodes via
text, touch ID, or security key or token).
