Resolution
You may have multiple devices registered with Duo, including phones, tablets, smartwatches, security keys, and laptops. Over time, you may need to change your devices when:
- You change your phone number
- You replace your security key (lost, damaged)
- You would like to add or remove a tablet or smartwatch (note: some smartwatches can be treated as phones)
Before you begin:
- Try to make changes to your devices during open hours of the Service Desk. If something doesn't go as expected, the Service Desk can help you resolve problems quickly.
- It's best to add new devices before removing an existing device because you may need to complete a Duo authentication to add the new device. If you're changing your mobile phone number, keep your old phone active for Duo until you have the new phone/phone# working with Duo. Be sure to test the new device before removing the existing device.
