Due to sanctions placed by the US government, Duo two-factor authentication (2FA) will begin implementing restrictions to their service starting May 5th, 2022.
Users attempting to authenticate to York University Duo-protected applications from countries and regions restricted by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) — a financial intelligence and enforcement agency of the United States Treasury Department will be blocked from completing their login and receive an error message.
Web-based applications will display the following error message: "Access denied. Duo Security does not provide services in your current location." Other applications may display a generic failed login message.
If you are experiencing service access issues, please contact York UIT (email askit@yorku.ca) for support.
For more information, please read OFAC sanctions and service restrictions.
