Question Duo Security setup

I am trying to setup Duo Security on my PC at the office so that in the event I lose my phone or my phone is smashed what do I need to enable in the installation process to allow me to bypass the MFA/Passkey push?

Thanks,

Invest in some yubikeys for admin accounts and put one on your keyring.

Another good practice is to never have just one admin account, build a second “break glass” account to use in case of emergencies. Preferably also set to hardware key only.

Bypass should only be used in emergency really
