The “remember me” option is a feature of PortalGuard Identity Provider that tells your browser to remember that you have confirmed your identity using your 2FA (OTP) device. If you select this option, you won’t have to use your 2FA device as often on that browser. For example, if you use it on your computer at work, it reduces how often you have to sign in with 2FA at work; but your laptop at home may still ask you to sign in with 2FA (OTP) since those are two different devices and browsers.

(2FA = 2 Factor Authentication OTP = One Time Passcode)

The “Remember this Device” option saves you time and reduces distraction by reducing how often you have to use your 2FA device.

The “Remember this device” option is safe to use on computers and devices that you can trust to protect your browser. It doesn’t defeat the purpose of 2FA because the convenience it provides is limited to each computer and browser that you choose to use it on.

Why isn’t the “Remember this Device” option working for me? Are there things that prevent it from working correctly?
