Hi Daniel,

Try giving the following process a shot:

  1. Navigate to the user page that you want to add the additional 2FA device (like your tablet) to.
  2. Click Add Phone. The way to add a tablet is nested in here.
  3. Select Tablet then click Add Phone.

  4. A “Generic Smartphone” device is created and you are brought back to the user page. Click Activate Duo Mobile.
  5. Set an expiration time and click Generate Duo Mobile Activation Code.
  6. In the text field next to “Activation instructions”, copy the activation link that was generated. It is blurred out in this screenshot.
  7. Transmit this link to yourself via a secure method. On your tablet with Duo Mobile installed, open the link. Duo Mobile will be activated and you will be able to use this device to complete 2FA.

Please let me know if this helps.
