These devices are helpful if you do not have a mobile device or are traveling abroad without an international cell phone plan. Each key fob is assigned to one person. When prompted to authenticate to DUO, press a button to retrieve a unique 6-digit number and type it into the DUO authentication screen to confirm the login.
