Getting started with the set up 2FA Remember Device

Let’s see how an administrator set up 2FA Remember Device for users.

Follow these steps to set up 2FA Remember Device

• Go to the 2FA Configuration tab in the miniOrange 2-Factor Authentication plugin, and then click on the Advanced Features subtab.
• Select the checkbox to enable the Remember Device option.



• Here, we provide two options:

1. Give users an option to enable 'Remember Device': When this option is enabled, the user will be asked to select '2FA Remember Device' during login.
2. Silently enable 'Remember Device': When this option is enabled, the user won't be asked to select '2FA Remember Device' during login. Their device will be remembered automatically.

(I have selected the first option in this.)

• You can set the number of days to remember the device and also limit the number of remembered devices per user.
• When the device limit is reached, you will have two options to proceed. When the device limit is reached, you will have two options to proceed.

1. Ask for Two Factor: When enabled, the user will be prompted for 2FA during login.
2. Deny Access: When the device limit is exceeded, the user will see an 'Access Denied' error during login, as shown below.

• After that, click on the Save Settings button.



• Enter your login credentials and click on the Login button.



• Enter the 2FA code generated in the Google Authenticator app. (I have already set up the Google Authenticator method.)
• Click on the Validate button.



• Click on the YES button to remember the device.


• Your device is now remembered. Next time you log in, you won’t be asked for 2FA and will be logged in directly.


• If you want to see the remembered devices report, click on the "View Remembered Devices" link.



• You can see the detailed report of remembered devices on your site.
• You can also remove device entries from here.
