If the Duo account doesn't have any devices, then the user logs in with

How do you deal with the case of "the user's phone died last night, they have
to get work  done today, and won't be able to actually get a new device for a
few days"?  Not everybody who has an iPhone has the cash on hand to lay out for
a new one unexpectedly, and making them obtain a cheap burner phone they don't
want in order to get their MFA working isn't going to make the security office
any friends...
