What is Duo?

CPP and other CSU campuses use Duo for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), this verification and authorization requirement helps keep your account secure from by blocking access. Never authorize an MFA request you did not personally initate. CPP staff and faculty will never ask you to authorize access to your account.

The Authentication Process:

• Open a new browser session. 
• Visit applicant.cpp.edu
• Sign in with your BroncoName and Password
• Respond to the 2-Step Authentication window by choosing your preferred authentication option. 
• Select the remember me option if desired.

We recommend installing DUO on a second device, such as a tablet, or adding a phone number to avoid getting locked out if your primary device is damaged.

• Open a new browser session and visit applicant.cpp.edu.
• The 2-Step authentication prompt will appear if you're not logged in.
  
• Select Add a new device.
  • Select the type of device to add Mobile phone, Tablet, or Landline.
  • For mobile phones or tablets, you must select the type of device (e.g., Android, IOS).
• If displayed, scan the QR code with the device you wish to link to DUO.
