Duo is a two-factor authentication which adds a second layer of security to your network account. Verifying your identity prevents anyone else from logging into your account, protecting you and Oakland Schools data from security vulnerabilities.
Passwords are increasingly easy to compromise. They can often be stolen, guessed, or hacked — you might not even know someone is accessing your account.
Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security, keeping your account secure even if your password is compromised. With Duo Push, you'll be alerted right away (on your phone) if someone is trying to log in as you.
This second factor of authentication is separate and independent from your username and password — Duo never sees your password.
DUO has their own full-fledged guide that assists and answers any questions one might have on their website.
To use Duo Mobile, first connect (enroll) your account with at least one mobile device number and/or the Duo Mobile application.

Your device is ready to Approve DUO Authentication Requests
District staff members who require VPN access are required to use DUO two factor to authenticate before they can complete connecting.
DUO Mobile is a mobile device application used as a method for approving DUO authentication requests. Navigate to your device's application store and download the application. Once downloaded, follow the appropriate DUO Enrollment Process for the type of staff member you are (DUO Enrollment Process (OS Admin Building Staff) or DUO Enrollment Process (OS District Staff)) to link your account to the application.
Once you have connected your Duo Mobile account to your smartphone app or mobile phone number, there are three ways to approve access.
Await a call from DUO and accept it.
This will be a randomized telephone number every time you authenticate. |
Login to https://webmail.oakland.k12.mi.us on any device and select Enter a Passcode
Adding another device to the dropdown menu when authenticating is very easy! This will allow you to select from multiple devices when authenticating,
Changing DUO settings or specific devices settings is also very simple. This will allow relinking your account to the DUO Mobile application as well.
If your device is not getting DUO push notifications, open the DUO app and manually accept the app push instead of waiting for the device notification popup. Mobile devices may not properly show DUO notification popups.
District staff must put in a service desk ticket to have instructions sent to their new device. More information found under Enrollment Process (OS District Staff) |
If the activated device(s) have been lost, phone number changed, or access to it has been lost as a whole, there are a few ways you can reactivate your account to the DUO mobile app.
If the new device still has the previous phone number, navigate to the DUO menu at https://webmail.oakland.k12.mi.us/ and go to the "My Settings & Devices" section. More information can be found under Change Settings & Devices.
