Install Duo App on a Mobile Phone

Before starting the process to register a mobile device to use two-step login, it's a good idea to install and open up the app. The process for iOS is documented below, and is similar for Android. 

Before starting, note that for Apple you'll need to be running iOS 10.0 or greater, and for Android, you'll need to be on Android 6.0 or greater. 

1. Find the Duo Mobile app in the store of the platform you are using (iphone = App Store, Android = Play Store). Note that other apps may appear, so be sure you're installing Duo Mobile with the green logo.

1. 

2. When you open the app, you'll probably want to allow Duo to send notifications. This will lead to the most seamless experience using two-step login. Otherwise, each time you log in you'll have to open the app to approve. 

   
   
   

3. Get ready to add your account in the Duo app. You can either tap "ADD ACCOUNT" or tap the plus symbol in the upper right corner.

   
   
   

4. The Duo app will need to access your camera to complete the registration process (see below). Allow the access, then put the phone down momentarily to continue to the device registration interface.
