    • Your Gateway Credentials may be different than your PC Credentials. The Credentials right under PC Name, is the username and password that you use to login to your Office Computer or Remote Computer. Whereas Gateway Credentials maybe different, but usually is the same.

Do not Approve if your not connecting to the remote computer, Ignore if your not sure if its one of your devices or Deny if you think its someone else connecting. Please report if you randomly are asked for Approvals when your not trying to connect!

If Duo is setup on another device, then you would just tap "Approve" on the device it is setup on. If you would like to move it, just contact support to assist you in setting it up on another device.
