When it comes to authenticating our users, Duo protection is vital; it gives additional protection for login in and is simple to use once set up. It provides several ways to authenticate users, such as push notifications on the phone, text messages or phone...

Cannot use another email address for authentication. There was a period of two weeks when my phone (main authentication device) was out for repair and I couldn't gain security access from home.
