New Number With New or Existing Phone

If you have a new phone number then you can't send yourself a text message with a Duo Push reactivation link. Click or tap Continue to proceed to the Duo self-service device management portal, where you can complete the steps to add your new phone number and set up Duo Push on the new phone so you can use it to log in with Duo.

You'll still need to verify your identity with a different Duo verification method, so if you don't have one available you will need to contact UIT for assistance.


You can also reactivate Duo Mobile for use with Duo Push on a new phone from the device portal if it uses the same phone number as when you set up the original phone in Duo. These steps must be completed from a computer. Not the mobile device.

  1. Locate the existing phone in the device management portal and click the I have a new phone link.

  2. Click Get started if your phone uses the same phone number as before. If you want to add a new phone with a different number, cancel reactivation and follow the process for adding a new device instead.

  3. Verify that you have access to the phone by clicking Send me a passcode or Or call my phone to receive a passcode from Duo.

  4. Enter the verification passcode you received in a text message or phone call and click Verify .

  5. Install the Duo Mobile app on your new phone if you hadn't already done so, open it and tap Add to scan the QR code shown on-screen, continuing the same steps you completed when you originally set up Duo Mobile for Duo Push on your phone.

  6. Click Continue when you've finished reactivating Duo Mobile on your new phone to return to the device management portal.

If your existing phone stops receiving Duo Push requests UIT might suggest that you try reactivating Duo Mobile on your phone with this process as a troubleshooting step.
