Going Abroad or Leaving Campus With Duo

Are you going abroad?  You may need to make changes to your two-step authentications settings (aka Duo)

• If you have only ever used  Duo on campus with your current cell phone then you may need to activate it for when you are off campus
  • Log into https://myduodevices.bowdoin.edu and do an authentication to get into the settings
  • Go  to the Options button for your cell phone device
  • Click  Activate or Reactivate Duo Mobile
  • Follow the prompts in the SMS that you will receive on your phone
  • Once you see a Bowdoin College entry in the Duo App on your phone (or a replaced entry with new code) then you are ready to use Duo with your current number
  • Now once you leave campus you are able to use Duo

• Once you get your new SIM card overseas
  • log in again to https://myduodevices.bowdoin.edu either from your computer or your cell phone and authenticate to get into settings
    • If you are already using your new SIM you can use the code under the Bowdoin College entry in the Duo App on your phone  to authenticate to get into settings
  • Now you click on Add Another Device and put in your new phone number and your phone model and OS.
  • Now when you need to authenticate with Duo be sure to choose your new number from the drop down before choosing one of the methods.
