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.

Duo Mobile also has a companion app for Wear OS, Duo Wear, making secure authentication even more convenient on your smartwatch.

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

Used to work but broken now. This app used to work like 5 years ago or so. It was very annoying because it popped up for literally everything connect to my accounts, so I felt like I had to log into every single page I visited. But it did work. Just now I tried to use it to add a new account, and the previous two are there and deactivated, but the app is frozen. I can install and uninstall it, and it will load the home page, but none of the buttons work, and I'm unable to use the app entirely.

I'm now required to use this by my company on my personal phone which I think is very intrusive. It seems like every time I use it, it turns off my ability to make a phone call. I've tried clearing the cache I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Very frustrating and the only thing that helps is to completely restart my phone each time I have to use this app, which with the way my company set it up, it's almost 10 or more times a day.

I don't want to be forced to back up my entire phone to the cloud in order to be able to recover my duo accounts if my phone breaks (ie to set up a new phone without access to the old one). Let me have a password-protected backup for just duo! For me, this is a deal-breaker. I'm going to have to find another app. Otherwise the app is fine.
