Body

Overview

This document lists the UAA IT Services (ITS) recommended security keys for use with UA's Multi-Factor Authentication systems, such as Duo.

Important
UAA ITS does not provide these security keys for free or at a discount; they must be purchased personally out of pocket. However, we encourage you to consider this a worthwhile investment in your online account security. These keys are not only compatible with our Duo MFA system but can also be used to secure many of your personal accounts that support security keys.
For university employees, you may request that your department purchase a security key. UAA ITS does not handle or process security key orders; we will only assist with adding the security keys to your account.
