OrgCentral Mobile App
K-State users must have the Duo Mobile app (two-factor authentication) set up on their phone to use the OrgCentral mobile app.
- Visit the K-State IT Service Portal "adding a second device in Duo" help page for step-by-step instructions on setting up Duo on your mobile device.
Common Issues:
- Duo authentication requests are going to parents/guardians – not the students
- Students have not verified their eID yet
- Students must have the Duo Mobile app set up on their phone, connected to their K-State eID account
To address these issues, student should login to their eID profile at eid.k-state.edu (preferably on a web browser) and follow the steps below:
- Students will have to Duo authenticate when signing in
- If they can’t authenticate for themselves, it may be because the authentication requests are going to a parent/guardian.
- Students will need to work with individual who has the authentication access to login
- Once logged in, the student should change this so all authentication requests go to them, not a parent or other individual
- Check their Identity status:
- “Verify Now” – students need to make sure their account is verified before they can do anything else. They will need to know their SSN to complete verification.
- “Verified” – they are good to move on
- Select “Duo Two-Factor Authentication Device Management”
- Students will have to Duo authenticate again
- This is where they can change who/how they authenticate for their account
- May need to remove parent access and change to their personal phone number
- To set up the Duo Mobile app on their phone, they should select “Add a new device”
- Add their phone number
- A prompt to download the Duo Mobile app will appear, click Next
- A QR code will appear – they will need this when setting up the app on their device
- Download the Duo Mobile app on their device
- Open Duo Mobile app
- Click “Add”
- Scan the QR code on the eid.ksu.edu website
- Make sure their device settings allow for push notifications from Duo Mobile
Once Duo Mobile is set up, they can use the OrgCentral mobile app
- Download the OrgCentral app on their device
- Open the app, select the appropriate Hub
- OrgCentral – everyday use to explore student orgs and events
- K-State Kickoff 2024 – special event hub for activities before classes being

- Sign in with K-State eID
- A Duo push notification should appear – do not leave the app to authenticate, slightly pull down on the notification and an “Allow” option should appear – select Allow
- Watch OrgCentral Duo Authentication video
- When the DUO notification appears on your screen, slightly drag down on the notification
- An approve/deny option box may appear for you, without requiring you to leave the OrgCentral mobile app.
- Select Approve
- If your phone can't do that:
- Before you open the OrgCentral mobile app, open the DUO app and copy the passcode that it lists.
- Then, when authenticating for DUO, use the passcode option and enter the code that you copied.
- That will let you log in without tabbing out of the app.
