West Virginia University advises users to delete Duo Mobile app except for non-WVU authentication West Virginia University has issued guidance recommending that users delete the Duo Mobile authentication app unless they are actively using it to authenticate services outside of WVU's systems. This directive appears to be part of a broader security or infrastructure update at the university. The announcement suggests WVU may be transitioning away from Duo Mobile for internal authentication purposes or consolidating authentication methods.
