Use Duo on your smartphone with 2FA without using your data

by Ryan Johnson, technology training coordinator

Are you worried about using data on your smartphone to use 2FA? With the Duo App available on your smartphone, you can put your phone in Airplane mode and still generate a code, then same way you would with a hardware token.

1) First, place your device in airplane mode.

2.) Open the Duo Mobile App and tap on the green key button to receive the passcode.

4.) Finally, login into WebAccess and enter the passcode on the screen and log-in.

So, if you have a smartphone and download the Duo app, this option is similar to using a hardware token and will work even without an internet connection and/or cellular service.
