Set Up Duo on Your Phone or Tablet

Faculty, staff, students, and retirees must use Duo when accessing certain protected TU resources to prove their identity using both their password and an enrolled device (phone, tablet, etc.). Install the Duo Mobile app from your device's app store, then follow the steps below to complete the enrollment process. 

Start adding a new phone or tablet

  1. Open the NetID Management page in your preferred browser on a desktop or laptop computer.
  2. In the Manage NetID section, select the Manage link.
  3. Enter your NetID (username) and Password, then select Login
  4. Select MY PROFILE at the top of the page, then select MANAGE DUO in the gray area below. If necessary, select the sandwich button (three stacked lines) to reveal MANAGE DUO.
  5. Select the gold ADD NEW DEVICE button to display the Add new Duo device box.
  6. Select the type of device you plan to enroll — Mobile phone, Tablet (iPad, Nexus 7, etc.), or Hardware Token (which includes security keys) — then select NEXT. Continue with the most appropriate section below.
