This article explains how to enroll an issued Yubikey as a new device in Duo using the help site.
Adding Yubikey to Duo
For the enrollment process your device MUST have a port that can accept the Yubikey. USB-C to USB-A adapters can be requested at the STC office.
Navigate to the Help Site
Navigate to https://help.uidaho.edu, and login using your University username and password.
Duo Prompt
Once you have signed in you will be prompted for Duo authentication on a new page. On the left side of the page select the "Add new device" text.
Register Yubikey
Generate a Duo Bypass code through Duo Admin and insert it in the text box provided on the page. After this is entered select the "Security Key" option and click continue. If you are on a Windows device, this will prompt a pop up to open where you then select "Security Key" and click "Next".
There will be 2 following pop ups to confirm the adding of a Security key which can all be confirmed by selecting "Ok".
Confirm Yubikey
With the completion of the popup windows, you will be prompted to inset the Yubikey into the device. When asked to "Touch your security key", gently tap the green light on the copper color portion. To keep the Yubikey saved for future usage, click "Ok" to "Passkey Saved" and confirm any permission requests asked for the Yubikey.
Now the Yubikey is ready to be used.
All usage of the Yubikey requires that the used device has a port that can accept the Yubikey. USB-C to USB-A adapters can be requested at the STC office.

Duo Prompt
When prompted for a Duo authentication, there will be two alternative formats that may appear when attempting to sign in.
The first option is the device drop down menu. In this format select the "Device" drop down menu and select "Security Key".
The second option is selecting "Other Options" in the Duo authentication prompt where it will provide you a list of alternative sign in methods. From this list select the "Security key" option.
After the selection of "Security Key" from both formats, insert the Yubikey and touch it when prompted to login to your account.
