Platform authenticators are authentication methods built into the device you use to access services and applications protected by Duo. Examples of platform devices would be Touch ID on Mac, Face ID on an iPhone, Windows Hello, and Android biometrics.
Touch ID on Mac
In order to use Touch ID with Duo, make sure you have the following:
Touch your Mac's Touch ID sensor when prompted to log in to the application. If you aren't able to access the Touch ID sensor (such as when you close and dock your laptop), then you can choose to type in your Mac login password instead to verify. If you need to cancel a Touch ID authentication in progress, click or tap the cancel option shown by your browser, outside of the Duo Universal Prompt.
Face ID or Touch ID on an iPhone or iPad
In order to use Face ID or Touch ID on an iPhone or iPad with Duo, make sure you have the following:
- An iPhone or iPad that supports Face ID or Touch ID.
- Face ID or Touch ID already set up on the iPhone or iPad. Learn how to set up Face ID or set up Touch ID at the Apple Support site.
- iCloud Keychain sync enabled on all the Apple devices you will use with Duo and the passkey you will create during setup.
Depending on the option your device supports, you'll either scan your face to use Face ID while logging in, or you'll scan your fingerprint instead to use Touch ID.
Windows Hello
In order to use Windows Hello with Duo, make sure you have the following:
- A device running Windows 10 or later.
- Windows Hello set up on the device for signing in with a PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition. Learn how to set up Windows Hello at the Microsoft support site.
- A supported browser: Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Refer to the Duo browser support table. Note that Chrome Incognito and Edge InPrivate browsing won't work with Windows Hello, but will work with Security Keys.
Follow your device's prompt to enter your Windows Hello PIN, scan your fingerprint, or use facial recognition to log into Duo.
Android Biometrics
In order to use Android Biometrics with Duo, make sure you have the following:
Follow your device's prompt to scan your fingerprint or use facial recognition to log into Duo.
