Your phone isn&#039;t working hard &#8211; it&#039;s just waiting for notifications.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it like taking a quick peek out your window instead of running around the house!

It&#039;s like having backup keys to your treehouse &#8211; super handy!<\/p>\n<p>While some systems (like Auth0&#039;s basic setup) only let you use one device, others (like Duo and Microsoft Authenticator) let you add several phones or tablets.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;d compare it to having both chocolate and vanilla ice cream &#8211; you get more choices!<\/p>\n<p>Just remember to keep all your devices <strong>safe and secure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Quickly_Does_a_Push_MFA_Notification_Expire_if_Not_Acted_Upon\"><\/span>How Quickly Does a Push MFA Notification Expire if Not Acted Upon?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Push <strong>MFA notifications<\/strong> <strong>expire pretty quickly<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Think of them like a timer on your microwave.
