NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS
For over a decade, Duo Mobile has delivered enterprise-grade protection without asking users to become security experts. At a time when MFA fatigue, phishing, and credential theft are persistent threats, Duo Mobile shows that strong protection and excellent user experience are not competing priorities, but complementary ones.
Today, that approach protects security at massive scale. Duo safeguards 387 million authentications per month, serving a global user base with 8.5 million active iOS users and 3.3 million active Android users. This reach reflects not just adoption, but trust — users rely on Duo Mobile daily to securely access the apps and accounts they depend on most.
The app plays a critical role in protecting millions of logins every day through phishing-resistant authentication methods like Duo Push, biometrics, and one-time passcodes. Security signals such as device health, location context, and trusted session awareness help users make informed decisions at the exact moment it matters. These protections are embedded directly into everyday workflows, reducing risky behaviors while strengthening identity security across organizations.
What truly sets Duo Mobile apart is how approachable it makes all of this. The experience is intentionally simple: clear prompts, one-tap approvals, and thoughtful defaults remove friction for end users while still enforcing strong controls behind the scenes. This ease of use drives higher adoption and consistent usage, which is essential for any authentication solution to be effective at scale.
Duo Mobile also reflects a security-first mindset in its resilience and reliability. Features like encrypted backups and secure restore flows allow users to recover access without weakening protections, reducing support burden while maintaining trust. The result is measurable, sustained impact: fewer compromised credentials, fewer help desk escalations, and a safer authentication experience that scales confidently across organizations of all sizes
