I just switched my two-factor authentication method from OTP to Duo.

After I completed the first screen for Duo enrollment (entering my bugzilla password & Duo username), I was taken to a page with a typo at the top:


> Account Verification
> Two-factor enrolment requires verification.

s/enrolment/enrollment/

FYI "enrolment" is an acceptable spelling.  Merriam-Webster lists it as less common than "enrollment" (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enrollment); Oxford lists it as the default, with "enrollment" being the US version (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/enrolment).

Since most, if not all, of the English in Bugzilla is U.S., I'm okay changing it, but I wanted to note that it is not incorrect.

Hah! That makes sense, and I think we've even covered this before.
