   Note	Passwords expire after 180 days. Password requirements: At least 8 characters At least 1 number At least 1 symbol At least 1 lowercase letter At least 1 uppercase letter Does not contain part of username Does not contain first name Does not contain last name Cannot reuse the last 10 passwords

3. Find the "Activate Account" email from no-reply-security at Cisco, and click Activate Account.

   Note	The activation link expires in 7 days.

4. Set up multifactor authentication (MFA) by following the prompts to configure Duo Security. Two-factor authentication (a type of MFA) enhances the security of your account by using a secondary device to verify your identity. This prevents anyone but you from accessing your account, even if they know your password.

5. Choose a device to add and follow the prompts to register the device. For more information, see Duo Guide to MFA and Device Enrollment. If you already have the Duo app on your device, you'll receive an activation code for this account. Duo supports multiple accounts on one device.

6. For additional security, we recommend that you register at least two different devices. Click +Add another device and follow the prompts to register another device. For more information, see Duo Guide to MFA and Device Management.

7. Click Continue to Login, and once your device is paired with your account, click Finish.

   Note	Optionally, existing users of Google Authenticator for MFA can add it here as a backup factor by clicking Setup Google Authenticator and following the prompts.
