Before you can send an email, you will first need to set up two-factor authentication on your account. The University of Cincinnati uses Duo Security for this.

To set up Duo two-factor authentication, you will need to install the Duo Mobile app on your smartphone or tablet. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices. Once you have installed the app, you will need to follow the instructions in the Duo Two-Factor Authentication Self-Enrollment Guide. Duo will push a notification to your phone asking you to approve or deny access each time you enter your UC username and password to log in to a university system.

You can also generate an authentication passcode within the Duo Mobile app. These passcodes can be generated offline, so you don't need an internet connection or cellular signal to authenticate. It is recommended that you add a second device as a backup for authentication.

Note that Duo will not function on Windows Phones after February 3, 2025. If you are using a Windows Phone, you should set up an additional authentication method that does not rely on Duo Mobile before this date.
