Duo - Select your 2nd step method
Computers like chromebooks and PCs cannot be registered as the 2nd-step device with Duo. In general, these are considered to be your primary work device.
The following device types work as a 2nd-step device with Duo:
-
Smartphones and tablets
Smartphones are by far the most popular type of device to register with Duo because they're the easiest to use during login, and most people already carry a smartphone.
At ½ûÂþÌìÌà more than 90% of current Duo users have registered a mobile device.
Many login methods are possible with a smartphone or tablet after you install the free :
- : Receive a notification on your device and tap Approve
- : Enter digits into the Duo passcode field and click Login (these are great because they work even if your phone doesn't have an Internet connection!)
- Receive passcodes via SMS (text message): Enter digits into the Duo passcode field and click Login
-
Hardware tokens
Hardware tokens are recommended for users who have no other devices to register with Duo.
These tokens are small fobs about the size of a keychain. They generate passcodes the same way the Duo Mobile app does.
To use a token, you'll press a small button on the token and wait for the passcode to appear. This can sometimes take a few moments. When your passcode is ready, enter the digits into Duo's passcode field and click Login.
NOTE: For security newly hired employees must first authenticate with a mobile device before requesting a Duo token.
