Centrally supported UConn classrooms (list of such classrooms) have a built-in Windows 11 computer available to users with a NetID. These computers will ask you to authenticate with Duo when you first sign in (starting November 10, 2022).
Authenticating during the sign in process covers you for the rest of your session on this computer: when using your NetID to sign into websites and programs, you will not receive another Duo prompt. This includes HuskyCT (Blackboard) and Microsoft 365 websites and applications.
Security Keys are incompatible with classroom computers; they will not allow you through the sign-in process. You will need another authentication method to use classroom computers.
