Duo Mobile’s restore functionality allows you to back up and recover Duo-protected accounts and third-party OTP accounts like Google or Facebook. Whether you’re switching devices or need to recover your accounts, Duo Restore has you covered.
Duo Restore for iOS
Enabling Duo Restore
- Make sure you have the latest version of the Duo Mobile app installed on your iOS device.
- Back up your device to iCloud with iCloud Keychain enabled. Nightly iCloud backups or encrypted iTunes/Finder backups work as well.
It’s important to note that Duo Restore must be enabled by the administrator in the Duo Admin Panel or if you’ve set a recovery password for third-party accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Duo Mobile restore process affect third-party accounts?
If you enabled third-party account backup, you can recover those accounts on your iOS or Android device. However, without enabling backup, manual reconnection is required by visiting each third-party service individually.
Will Duo Mobile accounts be saved if I delete the app?
- On iOS, all accounts are retained in the device’s secure keychain. Deleting the app does not delete the accounts.
- On Android, deleting the app removes all accounts. Unassisted account recovery becomes impossible.
Is it possible to restore an account once deleted in Duo Mobile?
No, manually deleting accounts within the app results in permanent deletion.
How large are Duo Mobile backups?
Duo Mobile backup files are generally not larger than 500 KB, depending on the number of associated accounts.
Does Duo backup private key pairs?
Only with third-party account restore and a recovery password, Duo Mobile backups to Google Drive or iCloud include private key information.
Can I restore a backup to a different mobile platform?
No, backups cannot be restored across platforms. Contact your IT Help Desk or Duo admin to reactivate accounts on a new device.
Why am I getting an error when attempting Duo Restore?
An error can occur due to various reasons, such as selecting the wrong Google account, synchronization delays, or Duo Restore being disabled on the original device.
