The Duo Mobile app is tied to a specific device’s hardware security module (HSM), not the mobile number it has been registered with. Therefore, you will need to reinstall and reactivate Duo Mobile on your new device before resetting or disposing of your old device.

Duo Restore for iOS

Step 1: Enabling Duo Restore

Due to how apps are automatically backed up in iOS, the backup functionality of Duo Restore is always on for iOS users who have iCloud enabled.

  1. Make sure you are running the latest version of the Duo Mobile App on your current iOS device.
  2. Back up your device to iCloud, with iCloud Keychain enabled to use Instant Restore. Nightly iCloud backups will include Duo Restore information. Encrypted iTunes or Finder backups will also work.

Step 2 : Restoring Duo Mobile account onto New Device

Recovering Duo-Protected Accounts with Instant Restore

  1. Sign in to iCloud on your iOS device and restore from an iCloud, iTunes, or Finder backup. If using iCloud, enable iCloud Keychain. This could be the same device as before, or a brand-new one.
  2. Download the Duo Mobile app on your new device.
  3. Open Duo Mobile and tap Continue on the welcome screen. Duo will locate your backed-up Duo-protected account(s) and restore them to your new device. When complete, you’re taken to the accounts list in the app.
  4. An activation notification will be sent to your old device. Tap ‘Yes’ to deactivate the accounts on your old device and continue using your Duo account(s) on the new device instead.

If you ever receive a Duo activation notification you did not initiate, click ‘No’ to protect your account and alert IT Services about the fraudulent reactivation.

  6. Open Duo Mobile on your old phone, tap the menu icon in the top corner, then tap Settings.
