Okta & Duo | Remember Me For 7 Days

When to Use?

This article explains how to utilize the 'Remember me for 7 days' functionality within Duo (both Traditional and Universal) and Okta. Duo has updated its authentication prompt to the Duo Universal Prompt to simplify the end-user experience. GVSU has enabled the new Duo Universal Prompt for Okta.

 

Duo Universal Prompt vs Traditional Prompt

 

How often will Duo/Okta prompt me to authenticate?

  • You will be prompted to use a multi-factor authentication every 7 days. Note: Pulse Secure also known as Ivanti Secure Access will prompt every time regardless.

  • You will also be asked to re-authenticate when your password changes, expires, or you connect from a new device or browser.

How often will Duo prompt me to authenticate my email and other Microsoft 365 products?

Why did I get asked to re-authenticated before my 7 days?

  • International Travel
    • Export-restricted countries are subject to further limitations, and countries with tight export controls may block MFA products.
  • Microsoft Risky Sign-in
    • Microsoft can automatically block a sign-in attempt or require additional actions such as multi-factor authentication when it detects risks of many types, including:
      • Anonymous IP address use
      • Atypical travel (e.g., log in from unknown location, using a VPN, logged into several different geographic locations simultaneously)
      • Malware or suspicious IP address
      • Unfamiliar sign-in properties (e.g., new device type, new browser)
      • Leaked credentials (the username/password combination has been detected as reused/leaked on the dark web)
    • See Microsoft's article "What is Identity Protection" for more information.
  • You have signed in from a new device and will be asked for MFA.
  • You have cleared your browser cache/history, and therefore it has reset all your settings.
  • You have signed out of Okta. In order for MFA to persist, you must exit the browser or close the tab. If you sign out, it will ask for MFA upon the next login.
