Following a recent Google Chrome browser update, you may see an unexpected Duo security dialog titled “Duo Desktop needs permission to access your local network” when accessing the Denison Login. This dialog does not impact your ability to successfully log in with your Denison account.

If you are presented with a Duo screen asking for permission to access your local network, please click Skip for now.

This issue is currently limited to Google Chrome on Windows clients, but is expected to affect other operating systems and browsers that utilize the same underlying browser framework. ITS is actively working with Duo support for a permanent resolution.

If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Service Desk at 740-587-6395 or servicedesk@denison.edu.

Update 10/20/2025 8:00AM

If you have not checked your voicemail via phone since 10/10/2025, please do so to see if you received any voicemails from 10/10/2025-10/15/2025. During this time, email notifications were not being processed due to a system issue and ITS has received word from the vendor that email notifications for those voicemails will NOT be delivered retroactively.

Update 10/15/2025 10:45AM: Email notifications for new voicemails are now being delivered. ITS is working with the vendor to understand the status of notifications for voicemails received after 10/10/2025 that weren’t previously processed – monitoring so far indicates those have not yet been delivered.

Original Post 10/15/2025 9:42AM: ITS has received a number of reports of email notifications for voicemails not being received since this weekend. Our initial testing indicates this may be affecting all Denison voicemail users. The issue has been reported to the vendor as high priority. We will provide updates here as they become available. Until the issue is resolved, please check voicemail by phone.

If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Service Desk at 740-587-6395 or servicedesk@denison.edu.
