    Annoying buy Necessary

    Date: Jan 11 2022
    Summary

    Fairly user-friendly and pretty prominent in the working world. Yea, it's annoying to use but it isn't the apps fault that I don't want to keep my phone on me at all times.

    Positive

    Duo is a fantastic little program that keeps everything safe. I love that you don't have to take a phone call or type in a code to log in. You just click a button and you're done. We use Duo on just about everything in our organization and so far we haven't had any problems.

    Negative

    You have to have a smart phone to do this effectively or you have to go to a phone call and code punching. My only other complaint is that that accept and deny buttons are in the opposite of what you would naturally expect them to be. So I constantly deny my access all the time.

    Duo Security Welcome Addition to Enhance Your Security Posture

    Date: Mar 16 2022
    Summary

    When the pandemic first occurred back in 2019 roughly my company had to quickly pivot to working largely from home. Prior to being able to do this with full confidence we required some enhancements to our internal security posture and Duo came up top on our list.

    Positive

    Duo was a relatively pain free implementation that quickly enhanced our ability to authenticate and access resources remotely.

    Negative

    There was some enhancements to the app through out the time that we have had Duo and it has introduced some minor annoyances into the overall workflow of using it. But generally nothing too disastrous.

    Secure Your Stuff

    Date: Aug 04 2022
    Summary

    Overall, if you want a quick way to secure your logins Duo Security is a great way to go, especially since you are able to have the approval done through your phone.

    Positive

    Definitely made me feel like my information was secure and that no one could sign into my stuff. It is easy to use and quick to confirm any time you log into an account of yours.

    Negative

    Even though I do like my accounts being secure at times I do feel annoyed constantly have to have two (Duo) logins.

    It's usable but usability is clearly not a priority

    Date: Jun 08 2020
    Summary

    You can check the keep me signed in for 30 days box but that rather defeats the purpose of two factor authentication.

    Positive

    It seems to work decently well, my university forced Duo security on every student and staff member, and during my time working with the information security team, we never got any incidents involving hacked Duo accounts, so that's good.

    Negative

    Usability really sucks with the mobile app. Like, first you got to open it, then you got to click the down arrow, and then the number isn't even auto refreshed so sometimes you'll type it in and get 'expired' message... and not to mention sometimes we hear about folks losing or getting their phones stolen and then not being able to access their accounts. Tis a pain.
