Change Your Duo Options and Settings

This document provides instructions for changing your Duo two-factor authentication (2FA) options for systems that require Duo two-factor and Weblogin-protected systems with two-factor turned on. This includes:

  • Reactivating Duo Mobile when you get a new phone with the same number
  • Deleting a phone number or device if it’s lost, stolen, or no longer needed
  • Changing your default device

Individuals who need to complete 2FA to log in to UMHS-specific services, including MiChart Electronic Prescription of Controlled Substances (EPCS), will follow different procedures and should refer to UMHS documentation.

  4. To change your default device, click the Default Device drop-down and select the device you want to be the default.

    Note The default is Ask me to choose an authentication method, which means you will need to initiate the authentication prompt when you log in (e.g., click Send me a Push or Call Me). The other options are Automatically send this device a Duo Push or Automatically call this device.

  7. On the Device Options screen:
    1. To delete a device, click the red trashcan icon and click Remove on the popup box that appears.
    2. To reactivate Duo Mobile (for example, when you get a new smartphone, and the number did not change), click Reactivate Duo Mobile and complete the onscreen prompts to update your smartphone settings and reactivate.
    3. To change your device's name in Duo to a more specific name that you will recognize, click Change Device Name, enter a new name in the editable name field, and click Save.
