Remember Devices for 30 Days is not Working

Troubleshooting

The Remembered Devices feature will work if an exception is made in the browser's security settings for third-party cookies coming from Duo Security.

Duo's cookies are only used to remember a device. The cookies and associated data are never used for advertising or marketing purposes.

 This feature may not work in the following situations:

1. Clearing cookies/cache as part of browser maintenance
   1. By clearing the cookie, you will be prompted by Duo at next login at which you can select the 'Remember me' option
      
      
2. Extensions/plugins blocking cookies
   1. You may have to disable any extension/plugin blocking cookies
      
      
3.  Switching to a new browser
   1. For every new browser, you will need to select the 'Remember me' option.  You may have multiple browsers set with this.
      
      
4. Switching to a different computer
   1. You will be prompted by Duo at the next login to any new computer that you have not previously set the 'Remember me' option
      
      
5. Using private/incognito browsing mode
   1. These modes do not save cookies by default
      
      
6. Having Duo automatically Push or Call you
   1. If you set up Duo to automatically Push or call, you will have to cancel Duo in order to access the 'Remember me' option
      1. We recommend not having Duo automatically push or call you.  If you have this selected you can update the setting in the Duo Device Portal

Safari

Safari does not provide a mechanism for allowing cookies from specific sites. However, they do provide a way to globally allow all third-party cookies (to be enabled at your own risk):

To allow the 'Remember me for 30 days' feature to work in Safari you will need to disable two settings that prevent it from working properly.

1. Select "Safari" from the top menu bar
2. Select "Preferences" from the drop down selection options
3. Click on the "Privacy" tab"
4. Uncheck "Prevent cross-site tracking" under the "Website tracking" section

Here are some basic troubleshooting tips to ensure that "remember me" works.

1. Make sure that your internet browser allows cookies from the duosecurity.com domain to be stored in your browser.
• In Safari, go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy. Under Cookies and website data click Allow from websites I visit. Restart your browser and try "remember me" again.
• In Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Options > Privacy. Adjust the slider for the Internet zone to allow third-party cookies to be stored. Restart your browser and try "remember me" again.
• In Firefox, go to Firefox > Preferences > Privacy & Security. Ensure Third-Party Cookies are not blocked. Under Cookies and Site Data click Accept cookies and site data.
  Restart your browser and try "remember me" again.
• In Chrome, go to Preferences > Settings > Show advanced settings > Content settings. Ensure Block third-party cookies is not selected. Restart your browser and try "remember me" again.
2. If you have browser extensions or plug-ins installed, disable or remove them to see if "remember me" works. Many browser extensions and plug-ins prevent cookies.
