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

One less star because of a minor usability thing which would make life easier for those us who need to type in codes into the app. The keyboard does not open up to the numpad or keyboard + number row at the top when clicking on Enter Code from a notification. Instead it opens to the default keyboard without the numbers requiring Pressing+Holding or manually switching to the keypad. Otherwise, it works well. I don't have issues receiving the appropriate notifications, either.

I've been extremely frustrated with the app for a few weeks now and finally got the point where I'm so sick of it I wanted to leave a review. Judging by the other top reviews here, I'm not the only one. I *still* keep accidentally denying my logins because they moved the 'Deny' button where the 'OK' button goes for pretty much every other app. There are other issues like notifications not showing up, but nothing is more frustrating to me when I'm still tired in the morning and deny my own login because this app swapped the buttons around.

I deleted this app after thinking I didn't need it. I tried getting into my college account and it asks for the DUO push. I re-install the app, but it can't find any of my accounts that are supposed to be backed up. You can't open a new account without a barcode or pin number. And they give you no other options to get into your account. I tried using a password to get in but every single password I have tried doesn't work and they give you no option for forgotten passwords. Terrible app!!
