Installing Duo Mobile: A Step-by-Step Guide

In today's digital age, security is a top priority for organizations of all sizes. One way to enhance security is by implementing two-factor authentication (2FA) using Duo Mobile. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of setting up and installing Duo Mobile.

Getting Started with Duo Mobile

To begin, locate the Duo (organization) option and select the Manage button. Open the Duo Mobile app on your phone and click 'Set up account.' Select Two-step login from the left-side Settings menu.

Next, open your organization and select the Settings tab. Go back to your computer and click 'I have Duo Mobile installed.'

Activating Duo Mobile

From the Duo Mobile app on your phone, the app will use your phone's camera to capture the QR code displayed on the computer page 'Activate Duo Mobile.' Hit 'Continue' on the computer screen.

Configuring Duo Mobile for Your Organization

To enable two-step login using Duo for your organization, you'll need this information to complete your setup. Click Protect to the far-right to configure the application and get your integration key, secret key, and API hostname.

Click Protect an Application and locate the entry for macOS in the applications list. You must be an organization owner to set up Duo for your organization.

Installing the Duo Mobile App

From your mobile device, launch the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Microsoft Store as appropriate and install the free Duo Mobile app.

Tips and Precautions

* Altering the application configuration from the Duo Admin Panel while Duo is active risks losing the ability to bypass two-step login for you or your organization's members.

* Instead, you will need to rely on the Duo Admin Panel to bypass two-step login for members who lose access to Duo.

Disabling Duo Mobile

Once you initially configure and set up Duo, it is critically important that you disable it for the organization before making any further application configuration changes from the Duo Admin Panel.

By following these steps, you'll be able to install and set up Duo Mobile for your organization. Remember to disable Duo Mobile before making any changes to the application configuration.
