Configure Remembered Devices

If you want to combine VIP Remembered Device authentication with VIP IA, you must enable VIP Remembered Devices within the applicable policy in VIP Manager.
  1. To configure Remembered Devices in VIP Manager:
  2. Sign in to your account in VIP Manager.
  3. Select
    Policies
    in the navigation bar at the top of the page.
  4. In the
    Account
    tab, select the
    Edit
    link.
  5. In the Remembered Devices policy section, enable the type of credentials that your organization supports;
    Device Fingerprint
    ,
    Trusted Device
    , or both.
  6. Configure your policy settings:
    • If you enable Device Fingerprint, also set the following:
      • Set the maximum number of days before the device fingerprint expires. Enter from 1 day to 730 days. The device fingerprint expires after this time period, even if the user has successfully authenticated before the authentication expiration threshold.
      • Set the number of days before the device fingerprint expires if users do not use their device to successfully authenticate themselves. Enter from 1 day to 365 days.
        Successful authentication only resets the counter of days to the next successful authentication. Device fingerprints always expire after the number of days configured in the
        Expire after
        field.
    • If you enable Trusted Device, also select whether to automatically upgrade Trusted Devices to the latest version. If you enable
      Auto-upgrade Trusted Device
      , users on supported platforms automatically receive the latest versions of Trusted Device.
    • Enter the maximum number of devices that each user can register as Remembered Devices. You can enter from 1 to 20.
    • Select how devices are deleted if a user attempts to register more than the maximum allowed number of Remembered Devices:
      • Select
        Auto
        to automatically delete the least recently-used Remembered Devices when the user registers another device. Users and administrators can manually delete Remembered Devices at any time.
      • Select
        Admin Only
        to require the administrator to delete a Remembered Device. The user can only delete Remembered Devices with administrator intervention.
  7. Click
    Save
    .
If you want to provide VIP Remembered Devices for users without VIP IA, see the
