2FA Setup with a Smartphone

If you do not have cellular data on your smartphone but have Wi-Fi access, please follow the 2FA Setup with a Tablet instructions.
 

Step 1: Login to Passport York

Go to Manage My Services and log in to Passport York.

Step 2: Welcome Screen

To go through the setup process, please click Get Started

 

Step 3: Choose Your Authentication Device Type

Select Duo Mobile.

 

Step 4: Type Your Phone Number

Select your Country from the drop-down list and type your phone number.

Use the number of your smartphone that you'll have with you when you're logging in to a Duo-protected service. Double-check that you entered it correctly, check the box, and click Continue.

 

Step 5: Install Duo Mobile

Duo Mobile is an app that runs on your smartphone and helps you authenticate quickly and easily.

On your smartphone, search for Duo Mobile in the Apps store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android). Follow the platform-specific instructions on the screen to install Duo Mobile.

After installing the app, return to the setup window and click I have Duo Mobile installed.

Do NOT delete the Duo Mobile app after completing the 2FA Setup. You need the Duo Mobile app for two-step verification to work on that device.
 

 

Step 6: Activate Duo Mobile

Activating the app links it to your account so you can use it for authentication.

On iPhone and Android devices, activate Duo Mobile by scanning the barcode with the app's built-in barcode scanner. Follow the platform specific instructions for your device:

The "Continue" button is clickable after you scan the barcode successfully.

 

Step 7: Congratulations!
