3. Once you're at the Duo Support Desk, you'll need to enter your hardware token's serial number, which can be found on the back of the token. Please note that some of the hardware token serial numbers will just be a string of numbers, and some will begin with the letters 'DSEC'. After you enter the number, select Register.
4. Select the Test Token on the top-left of the page.
5. If prompted, you should login with your UCInetID and password. When you arrive at the UCI
Multifactor Login page, select the Enter a Passcode button. 6. Type in the 6-digit code that appears on your hardware token's screen, and then select Log In.
7. On your computer, you will see that your enrollment was a success. You can exit this page and access UCI applications that require Duo MFA for logins. Duo is mandatory for future UCI login attempts.
