Students, staff and faculty are required to use Duo MFA to access the My Cal Poly Portal, Canvas, email and calendar, and all other web-based services that require a log-in. Adding a secondary device is highly recommended and ensures you have a backup way to authenticate if your primary device is unavailable. Select two of the following device options: mobile device, landline or token.
Step 1 - Add a Primary Device
After completing enrollment, adding a second device is strongly recommended.
- From the My Cal Poly portal or any other Cal Poly service that prompts you, click the Start setup button.
