You can access emails from your Rice Gmail account through the Gmail application on your Android device.  

Install Duo

Rice's two-factor authentication app, Duo Mobile, is required to access your Rice Gmail account on your Android device. Before continuing with the rest of the instructions, make sure that you have enrolled in Duo.

Install the Duo Mobile app from the iOS App Store

You can also access the Duo Mobile app through a secondary device (i.e., another phone or tablet) if you already have it installed elsewhere. Learn more about Duo enrollment.

Troubleshooting Duo

If Push notifications were not configured in Duo or a banner did not show up or only showed up momentarily, navigate back to the home screen and select the Duo Mobile app to finish the multi-factor authentication approval process for the sign in attempt (such as approving a Push notification or copying a passcode for the Passcode method).
