Duke is enhancing its online security measures to protect users and their data. As a result, several changes will be implemented across Duke University, Duke Health, and Duke Kunshan in the next several months featuring three key cyber security tools: Duo Mobile, Duke Unlock, and 1Password.

Upcoming Changes
Extended “Remember Me” Period– Soon, you’ll only need to reauthenticate every five days instead of three (72 hours).

Enhanced Password Checks– New or updated passwords are automatically checked against a database of known compromised passwords. If a password isn’t secure, you’ll be prompted to choose a safer one.
Phasing Out of Phone Call and SMS Authentication– We’re gradually phasing out phone and SMS authentication by March 31, 2025, to focus on options like Duo Mobile and Duke Unlock, which are more secure and reliable.
