Reduce authentication hassle with Duo Passport

Duo Passport is a cloud-based software security tool that increases an organization’s security by reducing gaps with strong authentication and risk-based controls.

Duo Passport uses Duo Desktop installed and running on the user’s computer to share the distinct Duo session information between browsers used to access applications, desktop clients, and Duo for Windows Logon.

Duo Passport provides continuous security working in the background with minimal interruptions. It reduces security gaps. It reduces burdens on IT by working in the background, verifying identity without requiring excessive user authentication.

Passport reduces repeated demands for authentication while working on multiple applications. Log in once and operate securely while you work.

When Duo Passport, Duo Desktop, and Duo Authentication for Windows Logon come together, users can access Duo Single Sign-On applications without entering their usernames or passwords.

When you apply a policy which enables remembered devices for all browser applications and install Duo Desktop on your Windows and macOS clients, remembered device sessions established during successful Duo Two-Factor Authentication are shared between browsers accessing Duo-protected apps and desktop client applications access Duo-protected applications. The Duo-protected applications can be 2FA-only apps or Duo Single Sign-On apps.

Yes, SSO applications with Duo Passwordless enabled can also take advantage of Passport. When a user starts their day by performing Duo Passwordless login to a Duo SSO application and chooses to create a remembered device session during that initial authentication, additional apps accessed from the browser as well as with desktop applications share that session. Users do not need to authenticate again for the remainder of the remembered device session.
