Does this impact my cellular plan?
There is no cellular communication necessary when you are on a wifi network. Since most people are on Whitman's wifi network, there is no need for cellular signal or data communication.
Even when on a cellular network, the data used is minuscule – less than receiving an email or loading a single Instagram photo.
What if I forget my phone at home?

Yes. You can add your landline , or office phone as a secondary option. Upon login you would choose that device from a dropdown menu at the Duo prompt; your office phone will ring asking you to verify login.
This is only recommended if you have a private workspace and individually-assigned phone number – not shared phone lines/numbers.
To configure your office landline phone:
- Instead of selecting "send me a push" -- click on "add a new device" on the left navigation list
- You will need to verify with a phone call to your already-registered device or use a passcode
- Duo will then walk you through the process for adding a landline phone
- Future Duo verifications can use the landline by selecting that device from the available options on the top area of the Duo prompt screen

If your previous device was configured for an iCloud or direct Google Play backup, the Duo app on your new phone may offer to restore your setup. If not, you simply need to add your new phone as an additional device.
To add your new device - start by connecting to a Whitman MFA service - for example: <https://my.whitman.edu> enter your Whitman username and password to login

I don't have a smartphone.
For phones where the Duo Mobile app cannot be installed, you can:
- have a text message sent with a one-time-use code
- receive a phone call asking for verification
- have Duo text you a set of passcodes to use for future logins
- use a USB security key
- use fob that generates one-time-use passcodes.
Please contact the Information Security Office <iso@whitman.edu> to discuss using a security key or fob.
I don't want to use my phone; or my phone is not compatible with the app.
The Duo Mobile app is the preferred mechanism for verifying logins – as it is the most secure and the most convenient.
However, if If you choose to not – or cannot – use your smartphone for this verification step – we will provide** a key fob that will generate a one-time-use passcode whenever the Duo multi-factor verification is presented.
The fob functions even when there is no wifi or cellular connection available.
please refer to the options listed above in "I don't have a smartphone."
Please contact the Information Security Office <iso@whitman.edu> to discuss getting a fob and for the documentation specific to using the fob for verification.
