Centrally supported UConn classrooms ([list of such classrooms](http://classrooms.uconn.edu)) 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](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IKB/pages/26117603329) 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.
