I’m non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we’ve just used the outlook app with no real issues that I’ve noticed. We’re seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?
Ask for a physical device like a yubikey instead of the duo app.
Use the web browser to access email.
I have a 6 year old work ipad and we buy our own toner cartridges for our office printer. They’re not buying anything. They put millions into door-swiping, staff-tracking security but we have playgrounds that don’t have fences. Public education is super fucked up.
I think they cost $20. Either this, nothing, or give in and give them access.
I’m a huge proponent of Yubikeys, and I use them every day. I use it for every account I have that supports non-resident FIDO2. I have my ssh keys set up on there so i can just sit down at any computer and ssh in to my remote servers without having to rely on being on a computer with its pub key already on the server. I use it for my pgp keys. I use it for TOTP on a few of my more sensitive accounts that don’t support anything better.
In addition to my regular w2 9-5 pen testing job I do pen testing as a contractor for a place like hacker one on steroids. I am forced to use Duo by them. Can’t use another TOTP app, can’t use a yubikey. While in most cases you can use another TOTP instead of duo, it is not always possible. That said, I highly doubt a school system has set up Duo in a way that prevents you from using alternate TOTP apps.
I had never heard of it. I’ll do some reading.
