Returning a Code Generating Token

This article explains how to return a Duo code-generating token and remove it from your account. If you're no longer using the token for multi-factor authentication (MFA), remove it from your Duo account and return it to IT to help keep your account secure

Instructions

Remove the Token from Your Duo Account

  1. Log into the Multi-Factor Authentication Manager
  2. Click the Manage Devices button
  3. In the token card, click Edit, then Delete, then confirm by clicking Delete again

Return the Token

To return a token, bring it to any place a user can obtain one. See: Where can I obtain a MFA code generating token?

Regularly Review Your MFA Devices

Regular review of your MFA devices ensures that

  • An attacker cannot add a new device without escaping notice,
  • Old or Broken devices don't clutter your list of options, and
  • Unneeded Tokens get removed and returned.
