Tips for setting up new phone with DUO MFA

October 6, 2023

Does your new phone have the same phone number? 

Even if your new phone has the same phone number, you will need to add it to your DUO account in order for push notifications to work again. When you get the DUO prompt as you are logging in, click the Add Device button and then choose the Call Me option to authenticate, and it will call the same phone number that is already registered. Once you are logged in, follow  to enroll your new phone so that a push notification works on the new phone.

Once you鈥檝e configured your cell phone as your default device, don鈥檛 forget to set up your office number as a backup device.

Does your new phone have a different phone number?

If your phone has a different number, then you鈥檒l need to use another device you鈥檝e previously setup in DUO to authenticate and .

If you currently don鈥檛 have another device setup and aren鈥檛 able to authenticate, please contact the Nanook Technology Service Desk for assistance accessing your account.
