Add a New Device in Duo (Phone Number or Mobile App)

This document provides instructions for adding devices, after an initial device has been enrolled, in Duo for two-factor authentication (2FA). Individuals who need to complete 2FA to log in to UMHS-specific services, including MiChart for Electronic Prescription of Controlled Substances (EPCS), will follow a different enrollment process.

Before You Begin

  • It is recommended that you enroll in both a primary and backup method for two-factor authentication. You can enroll more than two phone numbers and/or download the Duo Mobile app on multiple devices.
  • You need a desktop or laptop computer on which to do the enrollment steps.
  • U-M will only use your phone number for the Duo service, and you can modify or remove it from the system at any time.
  • Not sure which option you want to use? Refer to Options for Two-Factor Authentication for more information.
