• If you are using a landline: Once you complete steps 6, 7 and 8, your landline will be setup for use with Duo.

7. Enter the number of the smartphone that you’ll have with you when logging into Brandeis services, verify that it’s correct and check the box, then click "Continue." Note: If you chose "Landline" in the previous step, you can also enter an extension.

9. Select what kind of phone you have (i.e., iPhone, Android, etc.)

10. Install the Duo Mobile app on your smartphone. You can find it in the Apple App Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android).

12. To activate Duo on your device, open the Duo app on your smartphone, tap the "+" button, and use your smartphone to scan the QR code on the computer screen. On iPhone and Android, activate Duo Mobile by scanning the barcode code with the app's built-in scanner.

• A green checkmark indicates that your account has been properly linked on your phone.
