About this app

Duo Mobile works with Duo Security's two-factor authentication service to make logins more secure. The application generates passcodes for login and can receive push notifications for easy, one-tap authentication.

Additionally, you can use Duo Mobile to manage two-factor authentication for other application and web services that make use of passcodes.

Note: For Duo accounts, Duo Mobile needs to be activated and linked to your account before it will work. You will receive an activation link as part of Duo's enrollment process. You may add third-party accounts at any time.

Additionally, we will request access to use your camera for the sole purpose of scanning QR codes when activating accounts. Accounts can be activated by other methods if you choose not to do so.

Ratings and reviews

I wish I could give this a higher rating, but the fact that it's not compatible with the current versions of the Galaxy Watch or basically anything other than Apple Watches is pretty infuriating. As much as my institution requires a DUO push to get into any and everything I would love to be able to accept the notification on my smartwatch instead of having to find my phone each time. Such a disappointment and annoyance to deal with many, many, many times in the work day.

Duo will not send notifications anymore. As of about February, duo no longer sends me notifications of any kind. At work, I used to be able to send Auth. to my phone and approve on my home screen or lock screen via notification. Now I need to open the duo app manually and only then it prompts the question to unlock my computer, within the Duo App. All my notification settings are enabled and auto-sleep apps is off.

The only complaint I have with Duo is that sometimes the push just does not come up as a notification, and I am forced to open the app to approve the request. Not a big deal, but something worth noting. Besides 2FA being notoriously annoying, no matter the provider, Duo makes it a TON easier with the push. I just wish the notification's were more robust. I also wish there was support for wearable devices, such as my Gear S3 Frontier.
