Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security

Identity is everything. Protect it with Duo.

It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.

User Reviews

  • VERY useful software for those, who did (and still do) like to play "Good-Old-(DOS/W9#)-Games": - using this emulation software 'eases' the need to refresh old memories with older games you used to enjoy playing. - otherwise, you might just 'admit', that it is "Game Over, Man!" for those good old games - and go watch "Bold and Beautiful" on some streaming site - or 'whatever'. Some PS-#/XBox games are still quite good, though... 😏
  • Love older games
  • I don't know if DosBox will run any of the old networking software like Novell, 3Com, IBM PC Lan, AT&T Starlan, or Banyan Vines, but it runs everything else quite well. Once you find the configuration file's location, it's very easy to edit and customize. It should come bundled with Windows. :)
  • I think it's quite brilliant. A little tricky to set up but it's been a marvel for me. I've wanted to run the old Amstrad Locoscript software and it's the first completely stable environment I have been able to do so in. I know it's a but whacky still to be running Locoscript but it's databases are just brilliant and I can interface with my Libreoffice spreadsheet very easily.
  • This is REALLY really handy if you don't happen to have a bunch of old hardware lying around! Thank you all for the hard work. I have 1 question - how hard would it be to get the BOOT command to work in an actual version of DOS?
