Beginning in October, Duo Security — the technology behind Simmons Sharkpass — will be updating their mobile application on Apple iOS and Android platforms.  The redesigned application, which will be released through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, will be delivered if you have automatic updates enabled on your device.  The new version’s improvements include:

• Updating the position of the Approve / Deny buttons so that Approve is on the right, a more natural location.
• Improving the accessibility of the app, including adding a landscape view, variable font sizes, and improved color contrast.
• Providing clear guidance on restoring your accounts if you get a new phone.
• Making it easier to find and manage your accounts with a simpler interface.

The new version will contain all the functionality of the current one.  All of your protected accounts will be automatically present in Duo Mobile after the update. You will not need to re-add anything. In addition, all of your existing settings, such as for Duo Restore for third-party accounts like Instagram or Facebook, will also carry over automatically.

Duo can also be used to secure access to other online accounts and services such as Twitter, Facebook, and Amazon.com.  Check out Duo’s Guide to Two-Factor Authentication.
