Yes, in many cases, Duo can be configured to remember you.

Remembering a Device

The first time you approve the Duo authentication request, you'll see the option to remember your device.

Choose Yes, this is my device to create a trusted device session that will let you skip Duo two-factor authentication when you log in again with the same browser and device until that remembered device session expires.

Do not trust the device when using a public or shared computer! This could leave your Duo session available to other users. Remember the device only when you access applications from your own computer.

Important: This feature should only be used with a device you own or that is assigned only to you. Never use the feature on public or shared devices.

It won't be available for all services (e.g., UT VPN) and certain applications may require you to re-authenticate even if you have a Remembered Device.

Regardless, it will greatly reduce the number of times you need to use MFA to sign on.

Forgetting a Device

If you don't want to remember the device anymore, uncheck the Remember me box before you approve the Duo Push or phone call request or enter a passcode.

If you log in automatically with a WebAuthn method like Touch ID, a passkey, or a security key you won't see the Remember me option on the page. You will need to cancel the Duo authentication in progress if you don't want to remember that device anymore. This sends you back to the page where you can uncheck the Remember me box and then try to log in again.
