Hello, I have a problem with setting up. After putting in my UM Emil and password, it directs me to Duo and not more information required.
Kindly advise on a way forward.
Thank you.
Bret Kreitz
i already have an account apparently? Downloaded the app, signed in, but i cant reach the webpage because the link just takes me directly to my signed- in account.

When I sign in nothing redirects me to the "More Information Required" page, it's just business as usual because it takes me into my account. Why?
Do I need to do something else before signing in ?

It keeps automatically putting a lock on and when I try to take it off it asks for my "biometrics" password. What is this? I never made a password.

I'm having the same issue as Bret Kreitz and Brett N. report above. I will contact IST service desk for advice, but since this seems to be a common issue, it might be useful to edit the set up instructions to address it.

@sidnee. Apologies for the late reply. This may be Authenticator's App Lock setting. Visit this page under the heading Common Issues for the solution: https://umanitoba.ca/information-services-technology/my-security/set-up-mfa If that is not the issue, please contact the IST Service Desk with your question if you have not done so already: https://umanitoba.ca/information-services-technology/my-security/set-up-mfa#contact-us
