Beginning Tuesday, October 14, all BU employees, including faculty and student employees, will be automatically enrolled in Duo Security for the BUworks Central Portal at www.bu.edu/buworkscentral. If you are not already enrolled in Duo, you will be prompted to enroll a device the first time you attempt to log in on or after October 14.

This new, high-security login process asks individuals logging in to confirm their identity using a smartphone app, via text message to a device, via automated calls to a mobile or landline phone, or using a secured kiosk (for certain staff).

You can learn more about the new login process and find setup instructions for Duo Security at www.bu.edu/tech/duo. For people who log in to BUworks frequently, we recommend the option to “remember this device for 30 days” which reduces the number of times you’ll need to confirm your identity when using the same computer and browser.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the IT Help Center by submitting a Help request, via email to ithelp@bu.edu, or by phone – (617)353-HELP (4357).
