(D) 2FA on Desktops / Servers:

Q1: During the Duo installation, is it a mandatory / optional to enable the “Bypass Duo authentication when offline (FailOpen)” if it is installed on servers?

A1: By default, Duo Authentication for Windows Logon will “fail open” and permit the Windows logon to continue if it is unable to contact the Duo service. You can set the fail mode during installation to “fail closed” by deselecting the “Bypass Duo authentication when offline” box during installation. This will deny all login attempts if there is a problem contacting the Duo service.

On server systems, you should consider whether security concerns overrides the need for access. For example, in case under man-in-the-middle / DNS spoofing intercepting traffic to *.duosecurity.com, should the server fall back to single factor authentication?

On the other hand, in case of troubleshooting and you have physical access to the system, the “fail closed” setting can be changed in Safe Mode via registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Duo Security\DuoCredProv\FailOpen (Set to 1 to allow “fail open” or 0 to restrict to “fail closed”. Default: Fail open.).

Therefore it depends on factors such as security concerns, service design, requirements on availability, accessibility, etc. it is recommended but not mandatory to use set the fail mode to “fail close” on server systems.

Q2: I installed other 2FA solution on my computer before, can I install Duo 2FA additionally?

Q4: I installed DUO application on my notebook, but after reboot, I cannot login my original Windows account.

• For domain-joint systems: use UPN as username
• For non domain-joint systems: use either University ID, sAMAccountName, or Computing ID as username
