What authentication methods can I use with the Admin VPN through the FortiClient app?
You will need to enter an appropriate value into the Answer field and potentially complete another step in order to log in.
The different methods available to log in are:
- Duo Push - Push a login request to your phone (if you have Duo Mobile installed and activated on your smart device). Just review the request and tap Approve to log in.
- Phone call - Authenticate via phone callback.
- SMS - Request a new batch of SMS passcodes. You can then authenticate with one of the newly delivered passcodes.
- Passcode - Log in using a passcode, either generated with Duo Mobile, sent via SMS, generated by your hardware token, or provided by an administrator.
What should I enter in the Answer field for each kind of option?
Numbers for each option and the total available options may vary depending on what devices you have set up as authentication methods in Duo.
