Do I need to use two-step login every time I use my software?


On some applications or services, you will only need to authenticate with two-step when you first set up or log in to the application.

The first time you approve the Duo authentication request, you'll see the option to confirm the device is yours. This creates a trusted browser session that will let you skip Duo two-factor authentication when you log in again with the same browser and device until that trust session expires. You are still required to authenticate with your NetID and Password each time and your remembered device acts as a confirmation of your identity. Please note that this feature is a browser specific and not shared between different browsers. For example if you login with Chrome today and use Firefox later, it will ask you to authenticate again.

Do not select that this is your device when using a public or shared computer! This could leave your Duo session available to other users. Trust the browser only when you access applications from your own computer. Clicking on No, other people use this device will not create a trust session. You won't be asked to trust that device again for 14 days.

When your trusted browser session expires, you will need to use two-factor authentication again. Duo Push, phone call, text message, and passcode authentication methods will show the option to Remember Me already checked for you. Leaving the option enabled creates a new trusted browser session. If you don't want to trust that browser again, uncheck the Remember Me box before you approve the Duo Push or phone call request or enter a passcode.
