If You Have a Smartphone
A smartphone can be used to verify your login while traveling even if you do not have a data or internet connection. Here's how:
- Open the Duo Mobile app
- Tap on the Brown logo and a passcode will be displayed.
- The displayed code is a one-time use code that you can use as a passcode. In the Duo login screen, select "Duo Mobile passcode" to enter the code.
- Again, this does NOT require any data or connectivity, it can be done when your phone is offline.
- If you change your SIM card to an international SIM, this method of using two-step will continue to work without additional setup. However, other methods (like texting or phone call) will understandably stop working if you have a new SIM card.
If You Have an International Number
You can register for Brown's Two-Step Verification with an international number.
It should be entered with a + in front of the country code. For example, a German number may look like this:
