DUO FOB
A "DUO FOB" refers to a small, portable hardware device also called a "Duo hardware token" which is used for multi-factor authentication (MFA) with the Duo security system. Essentially, it's a key fob that generates a unique passcode you need to enter when logging in to access protected systems. It providing an extra layer of security beyond just a password, for people who may not have access to a smartphone or prefer not to use a smartphone.
