Information Security

Duo Universal Prompt

 

What Do Students/Staff/Faculty Need To Do?

By March 30, 2024, Duo Security will no longer support the traditional Duo Prompt. No action needs to be taken with this new change. This is simply a change to the Duo user interface (UI) and an explanation of what you should expect.

About Duo Universal Prompt 

The Duo Universal Prompt is a visual and technical redesign of the authentication experience for web-based applications that display the traditional Duo Prompt in browsers. 

What is Changing? 

With this change, there will now be an improved design, security, and accessibility. There also will be device management and the login method will default to the last one you used. With this update you will also receive faster push notifications once you log in you will get a push sent. This will also redirect your web browser to duosecurity.com. Below is an example of the simplified Duo interface.

Also now messages will appear on a dedicated screen within the prompt and often include additional information to help you solve the error.

End-users will also now see a full-page device management experience rather than managing devices within the frame of the prompt itself.

4. Duo then asks if this is your device. Clicking yes/no will prevent Duo from asking again until that remembered device session expires this will be replacing the ‘Remember me for 12 hours’ checkbox. Depending on the policy applied by your Duo administrator, this may remember your device across all your organization's Duo-protected applications. Ask your Duo administrator or help desk for more information.

 Opting for “No” would be considered the safest and recommended option, especially for public computers or devices that are not yours.
