  • push - Duo will send a push notification to your registered cell phone with the Duo Security mobile app installed
  • push2 - Duo will send a push notification to your _second registered device with the Duo Security mobile app installed_
  • A one time code generated by your hardware token (Yubikey ) or the Duo Security mobile app (the code changes every 60 seconds)
  • sms - Duo will send an SMS to your registered cell phone
  • Phone -Duo will call your registered phone
