Reactivating a Device in Duo

If you are a supplier requesting assistance with a supplier portal password reset or multi-factor authentication, please contact suppliercare@georgetown.edu.

If you obtain a new device, such as the latest model iPhone, that replaces another device you owned and that you previously registered to your Duo account, and if the new device has the same phone number as the older device, then you’ll need to register, or reactivate, the new device. You’ll need to register the new device so that that device can receive Duo push notifications.

Note: Before you perform the steps below, be sure to add a secondary device on your Duo account to reactivate your device. If you haven’t previously added a secondary device, you can click here for instructions on how to add a device to Duo, or you can contact the Georgetown University Service Center for assistance by going to help.georgetown.edu.
