Activating or Reactivating the Duo Mobile App

These steps are for setting up the Duo Mobile app if you already have a phone number configured and are using phone calls but also want to use the Duo Push option, or if you have a new phone with the same number and you need to set Duo Mobile up on the new phone. If you have a new phone and new number, and no other Duo device, please contact the IT Help Desk for additional assistance.

Complete these steps using a different device from the phone you wish to configure:

2. Click on Multifactor Authentication from the left menu
3. Click Manage Duo Settings but do not approve the prompt
4. Click Other options
5. Click Manage Devices and approve the prompt
6. Click I have a new phone under the device you need to reactivate Duo Mobile for and select Get started
7. Click Send me a passcode or Call my phone to verify your phone number then click Next
8. Use your phone to scan the QR code from the screen to reactivate Duo Mobile on your device
