Does the phone on which I’d like to install Duo need to be tagged by ITS?
No, you can install Duo on any device whether it is tagged by ITS or not.
Why is ITS requiring two-factor authentication?
Phishing is a leading method used by hackers to gain access to your password, data, and compromise your accounts. A second layer of security helps significantly to mitigate this risk. In fact, two-factor authentication is one of the best ways to protect against remote attacks on WCM accounts such as phishing, credential exploitation and other attempts to takeover your accounts. When two-factor authentication is enabled with web-based applications, such as myApps, remote attackers are unable to access your accounts without possessing your physical device needed to complete the second factor.
