Have Duo remember you

When using Duo to authenticate web applications such as PeopleSoft or Microsoft 365, you might see a checkbox labeled Remember me. As long as the computer is not a public or shared machine, you can select the checkbox.

In certain situations, selecting the Remember me option may require additional action.

  • Mobile Device - If the Remember me checkbox is covered by the on-screen keyboard or otherwise not visible, minimize your keyboard or swipe to see the bottom of the authentication box.
  • Computer/Mobile Device - If you have configured Duo to automatically call your phone or send a push notification, the Remember me checkbox may be grayed out when the Duo prompt first appears. To access the option, do the following:
    • Push Notifications
      • Select Cancel when the Pushed a login request to your device blue bar appears.
      • Select Dismiss when the Authentication request canceled message appears.
      • Select the Remember me checkbox and choose an authentication method.
    • Call Notifications
      • You must Decline the phone call.
      • Select Cancel when the blue bar appears.
