How do I set up Duo Security for my account?

Setting up Duo Security for your account involves a series of straightforward steps, ensuring that your account is protected with two-factor authentication. To begin, you should first access the Duo Security website and navigate to the Duo Admin Panel. You will need administrative privileges to set up the integration for your specific application. Once logged in, locate the "Applications" section and choose "Protect an Application." Here, you can select the application or service that you want to secure with Duo. Each application will have specific instructions, including the required keys and configurations. After you complete the necessary configurations, Duo Security will provide you with an integration key, secret key, and API hostname, which you will need to input into the application you are securing. Next, you can define authentication policies, allowing you to customize how users authenticate. Do not forget to enable and configure user accounts, as each user must be enrolled in Duo. They will receive a prompt to set up their preferred authentication method, such as a mobile application or hardware token. For detailed guidance, visiting the documentation available on the Duo Security website would be beneficial, as it offers in-depth instructions for various applications and scenarios.
