Enroll and Set Up a Device

TTS recommends using a smartphone with the Duo Mobile app as your primary authentication method because it supports most login scenarios. Other methods can then be added as backups or for convenience.

To begin using two-factor authentication, you will need to enroll and set up at least one device, such as a smartphone or a tablet.
