Duo prompt to get new look with improved capabilities
Duo has released a new Universal Prompt to replace their traditional two-factor authentication prompt that U-M currently uses, which will be required by all Duo customers. ITS Identity and Access Management is planning to switch U-M Weblogin to use the Universal Prompt in early 2024.
The advantages of the Universal Prompt include:
- Uses safer technologies offered by Duo.
- Streamlined login experience for users, such as defaulting to the last-used authentication method and requiring automatic Duo push notifications when that option is used.
- Designed and tested to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level.
- Support for more types of hardware security keys.
