- Select I Have A New Phone option.

- After selecting the option, select Call Me, this will prompt duo to call your phone to verify ownership.
- DUO will ask to verify the number, select the Call me option, pick up the call that will be incoming, and confirm with the numbers that will be spoken.

- If you scanned the QR code, the account should be set up. For activation links, go to the email
that it was sent to, and click the link on your mobile device that you wish to set up.
