Setting up Duo on a New Device


From time to time we all replace our smartphones for one reason or another. As long as your phone number hasn't changed, you can easily port your Duo 2-factor authentication over without needing to contact Information Security.

To begin, start by downloading the Duo Mobile App for your smart phone.  Although the Duo Security platform has multiple ways to provide a second authentication factor, we recommend using the Duo Mobile app for IOS and Android for the best experience.    

  • On your Android device open up the Google Play store and search for "Duo Mobile".  It can also be found here.  
  • Tap "install" to start the application installation

  • On your Apple device open up the App store and search for "Duo Mobile".  It can also be found here.  
  • Tap "get" to start the applicaiton installation

After entering your username and password you will be prompted to authenticate with Duo. Click on the “Add a new device” button.

Verify your account using either of the alternative options (or a push if the previously-registered device is still available):

  • Text message (SMS): A text message with a one-time use code is sent to your phone.

If you have a new phone number and do not have access to your old phone, you will need to contact Information Security at (609)-652-4779 for assistance.

Next, select the setup option "Mobile phone"
