On Sept. 19, a day after the fall semester Census day, The Division of Information Technology (IT) will release a sleeker version of Single Sign-On (SSO) and the newest iteration of Duo’s two-factor authentication, known as Duo Universal Prompt. You can expect a refreshed look and feel for both applications.
Single Sign On (SSO)
Duo Universal Prompt
The update to Duo Universal Prompt is required to safeguard your information further while providing a simplified, streamlined user experience.
The first time you use Duo Universal Prompt, Duo will choose the most secure method from those you have set up. You can use that method, or choose a different method through the new prompt’s Other Options link. After that first authentication with the new prompt, Duo will by default use the method you used most recently.
Reduce the Number of Times You Need to Authenticate
Instead of checking the Traditional Prompt’s Remember me for 10 days box, the Universal Prompt will ask if you would like it to Trust this browser after you authenticate. If you click the Yes, trust browser button, you will not need to authenticate with Duo when you sign in with this browser for the next 10 days.
After you have used the Yes, trust browser option for the first time with a particular browser and device, a Trust browser checkbox will appear directly in the prompt itself.
