Authenticating with BuckeyePass

With the successfully installed Duo Mobile application on your smart phone or tablet you can use the Duo Push option. This will send an alert to your phone allowing you to approve or deny the authentication request.  Clicking the Approve button will approve the request and authenticate you to the BuckeyePass system. You will then be allowed into the system. The appearance of the Approve and Deny screen will vary depending upon your smart device type and operating system. 

There are two ways to generate a passcode to be used in this option. First you can access the Duo Mobile application on your smart device. This option can be used without network connectivity on your smart device and be useful while traveling. Once inside the application all you need to do is click the Ohio State University account to generate a passcode. The screen may look different depending upon your device and operating system. This will generate a single one-time use passcode.

Alternatively, you can click the Other Options button when attempting to authenticate and then click the Text message passcode button. This will send single use passcode to you in a text message to use.

Enter the code into the Passcode field and select the Verify button to complete the process.

Users that have enrolled a Duo supported device with Touch ID to their BuckeyePass account can use it to pass Multi-Factor Authentication.

To use Touch ID, select Touch ID from the device menu in the BuckeyePass prompt. Then select Use Touch ID.

You will then be prompted to press the Touch ID sensor on your device.
