Starting on January 16, 2025, UBIT will introduce a Duo security enhancement aimed at protecting your UB account. Whenever a device is added to or removed from your Duo account, you will automatically receive an email notification.

What you need to know

  • Email notifications: These emails will come from no-reply@duosecurity.com, which will include the UB logo for authenticity.
  • Unauthorized changes: If you did not authorize a change to your Duo account, contact the UBIT Help Center immediately for assistance and change your UBITName password.

Stay secure with Duo

  • Verify authenticity: If you ever have doubts about the legitimacy of an email, do not click on any links. Instead, directly reach out to the UBIT Help Center for verification.
  • Enroll multiple devices: To avoid being locked out of your UBITName, UBIT recommends that you have multiple devices enrolled in your Duo account.
