Overview
Devices you own, such as your smartphone, tablet or Apple Watch, can be enrolled in Duo MFA. Computing and Technology Services (CTS) recommends registering at least two devices. This way, if your primary device becomes unavailable for any reason, you will be able to use your secondary device to continue logging into Duo-enabled services.
