On my phone that invitation just leads me to fetch the app and apply credentials that were in the activation text. The second issue is why, then, doesn’t the app have an option to just put in Duo credentials and your in? I finally remembered that I could go to the admin web page, send myself a fresh invitation. Why wouldn’t backup and restore be an entirely Duo thing and keep google out of it? And anyway, why? That is why is it connected with google? Duo is its own entity. It apparently gets saved to google cloud? Or has to be done with a google account? Any more I’m too wary of everything going through google and I would not want to do that.

In any case it would have put me on the right track.Īctually I’m surprised I ever set up restore. Maybe, maybe not, I’ll have to dig into old notes and see. If it had said that, “If you ever set up restore that’s what we’re trying to connect you to now and it is those credentials, whatever you set up for restore, that we need here”, then I would have known. The app gave me no clue that that was not what it was doing, that it was trying to connect me to restore. I just assumed installing the app from the app store and entering my credentials, just as I do when I go to the admin web page, would have it connected to my account. One is that it was not at all clear thats what the app was trying to do, fetch my restore, if I had one. In any case there seem to be two problems here that Duo could address in their user interface. Only after finding a work around and solving my own problem did I find, in related notes that, yes, long ago, I had established restore. Either I never did or it was so long ago I didn’t remember. I did not know if I had ever turned on restore.
