Duo Universal Prompt
Duo Universal Prompt is a vendor-supplied Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) application that will replace Penn’s current custom Two-Step service for PennKey authentication. PennKey will integrate directly with Duo for a seamless user experience. Duo Universal Prompt provides a modern, secure, easy-to-use login interface and a simpler way to add and manage devices.
What to Expect
Current PennKey Two-Step Verification users do not have to re-download the Duo Mobile app or take any actions prior to rollout, but the following changes will occur upon rollout:
- Users will see the new Duo Universal Prompt UI instead of the current Penn custom interface during PennKey WebLogin (see image below).
- All existing “Trust this browser” sessions will expire.
- All users will need to authenticate with Two-Step upon their first login after rollout.
- Duo Universal Prompt will enforce a 60-day limit on trusted browsers.
- New login options will be supported – USB security keys and Touch ID (Apple).
- Some legacy Two-Step functions will be retired.
- PennO365 Two-Step is changing from Duo Traditional to Duo Universal Prompt – Device trust will work across PennKey SSO and O365 logins.
