Configure Auto Push
IT Security recommends configuring the automatic Duo Push setting in your Duo settings to speed up the process of authentication. By default, Duo will allow the user to choose an authentication method. On the Duo prompt screen, choose the “My Settings & Devices” link on the left side of the window. You will need to validate with Duo to configure your settings. Under the setting for “When I log in:”, choose the drop down and select “Automatically send this device a Duo Push”. After choosing this setting, click Save. Now all new authentication attempts will send you a push without having to select an option on your device first, allowing you to login faster.
Remember Work/Private Devices
IT Security recommends using the “Remember me” feature on your most used devices. This feature should never be used in shared use locations (labs, classrooms, public computers, etc.). When checking the “Remember me” box and confirming the 2FA check, Duo will remember that browser and computer for the next 30 days. This is done with browser cookies and clearing them or not allowing cookies to be saved will not allow this feature to work. This means the next time you login on that computer using that same browser, you will be logged in without having to confirm with 2FA.
