What is a Fob?

A fob is a key chain that produces a 6 digit code when the button is pressed that lasts for about 10 seconds or so or until the code disappears from the screen. The device does not require an internet connection but can get out of sync if the button is pressed too many times in succession. The fob will need to be re-synced by a Duo admin if the code does not work when entered.
