In-place update is recommended, i.e. update the Duo Mobile app on your mobile device without removing the previous installed version first.  All your Duo accounts and third-party accounts will be automatically presented in Duo Mobile app after the update.

If you remove the previous installed Duo Mobile app and install the new version again, you will need to “Reconnect” all the accounts manually.
