MFA-Duo - Setting a Default Login Device
Setting the default login device and method:
-
In the Universal Prompt, select Other Options.
-
Select from the options available to you and complete logging in.
-
Next time you log in, the Universal Prompt will ask you to use the method you chose in step 2.
Please note: The first time you sign into a browser, or if you have just cleared your browser's cache and cookies, the prompt will default to your most secure sign-in method. The default login device method above only works on a device and browser you have used previously that stores your cache.
