Step Four: Type Your Phone Number
Select ‘United States’ from the drop-down list and type your phone number. Use the number of cell phone that you'll have with you when you're logging in My.PPS. If you're enrolling a tablet you aren't prompted to enter a phone number.
Double-check that you entered it correctly, check the box, and click Continue.
Step Five: Choose Platform

On iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone activate Duo Mobile by scanning the barcode with the app's built-in barcode scanner. Follow the platform specific instructions for your device. Please also turn on iphone or Android notifications for the Duo Mobile App.
The Continue button is clickable after you scan the barcode successfully.
Can't scan the barcode? Click Email me an activation link instead and follow the instructions.
Step Eight: Configure Device Options (optional)
We recommend selecting Ask me to choose an authentication method on this screen. This will make it easier to choose a passcode in future if you have no phone internet connection AND you can remember your device for 9 hours.
If selecting Automatically send this device a Duo Push - Duo automatically sends an authentication request via push notification to the Duo Mobile app on your smartphone. However - you will not be able to select the Remember me for 9 hours when selecting this option.
Click SAVE and then Continue to login to proceed to the Duo Prompt.
Step Nine: Remember me for 9 hours option
FIRST select the Remember me for 9 hours checkbox on this screen. If you check this box BEFORE authenticating you won't need to perform Duo 2-step authentication again for the rest of your workday.
Your device is now ready to approve Duo push authentication requests. Click Send me a Push to authenticate and login.
Phone Screen View
All you need to do is tap Approve on the Duo login request received at your phone.
If you get a login request that you weren't expecting, press Deny to reject the request. You’ll be given the ability to report it as fraudulent, or you can tap It was a mistake to deny the request without reporting it.
Passcode Option
You may also have the Duo prompt screen send you a passcode instead. Open the Duo Mobile App on your smartphone.
You should see a six-digit passcode displayed after clicking Show.
Then enter the 6-digit number shown on your phone/tablet into the Duo passcode prompt screen on your computer.
