Where Does Duo Mobile Store Accounts?
Duo Mobile restores through platform backups with admin-gated third-party secrets. No raw files are user-actionable.
Last updated
Duo Mobile restores through platform backup systems with admin gates. iCloud and system backups carry accounts while third-party secrets need opt-ins plus recovery passwords. Cross-platform moves never work.
Packages verify on both stores with sandboxes holding sessions opaquely. Legacy flows retired on published schedules with QR bridges. Admins control protected restores per organization.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Duo Mobile to a new phone?
Rely on iCloud with Keychain on iOS or system backup with device PIN on Android. Admins must enable restores for protected accounts with recovery passwords for third-party secrets. Samsung Cloud explicitly fails for this app.
iOS versus Android Duo restore?
They split by platform with iCloud automaticity against Android versioning. Legacy Drive flows retired on schedules with QR bridges between eras. Cross-platform restores never work in either direction.
What are the Duo Mobile app IDs?
Through verified packages and store IDs on both platforms with sandboxes holding sessions. Raw trees stay encrypted without documented files. Quote IDs with restore flows, never inner paths.
