If the phone number for your device has not changed, you can reactivate the device using the Duo Self-Service PortalLogin with your MyID and using the Phone Call or Text message passcode options to authenticate. Then select I have a new phone for the device you wish to reactivate. You can find complete instructions in our article, How to Reconnect the Duo Mobile App on a New Phone.

If the phone number for the device has changed or you need assistance in activating Duo on a new device, please contact the EITS Help Desk at 706-542-3106.

My device stopped getting push notifications. What should I do?

Your device may be having trouble deciding whether it should use a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection. You can resolve this issue by putting your phone into airplane mode, waiting a few moments and switching back to standard mode. You may also resolve the problem by turning off the Wi-Fi to use cellular data only.

If you are still having trouble, try using another method such as passcodes from the app or text message.

If you continue to be unable to use your device, make sure the time and date on your phone are set correctly.

My account has been locked out because of excessive authentication failures. What should I do?

Duo will lock users out of their accounts after multiple failed attempts in a row. You can try logging in again after an hour, or you may call the EITS Help Desk at 706-542-3106 to request your account be unlocked.

What do I do if my device is lost or stolen?
