New features, enhancements, and other improvements

Now available as part of Universal Prompt public preview: Duo Device Health workflows, device reactivation

Workflows related to security posture verification provided by the Device Health application are now available as part of the Universal Prompt experience.
Added an “I have a new phone” link in the new self-service portal experience to allow end-users to reactivate a device that was previously enrolled and activated with Duo Mobile.
Refer to our documentation for instructions on enabling the self-service portal and enabling the Universal Prompt as part of public preview.

Improvements for Duo Single Sign-On: New password reset option, visual enhancements

Administrators of Duo Single Sign-On with Active Directory as their authentication source can now enable an option for users to change their expired passwords during the authentication process after they have completed MFA. See a video of the password reset flow.
You can enable this feature on the Active Directory authentication source configuration page in the Duo Admin Panel.
For more information about this feature, including prerequisites, refer to our documentation.
In addition, the Duo Single Sign-On login page received minor visual updates to text and button sizing and placement to more closely match the visual style of the Duo Universal Prompt, providing a consistent login experience.

Added additional Windows versions for operating systems policy; Android OS versions updated in policy

You can now configure a “static versions” OS policy for Windows 11 and more granular Windows 10 versions. Note that these configuration choices with the “static versions” policy require the use of the Duo Device Health application for accurate enforcement.
In addition, Android 12 is now the current OS version in policy and Android 11 has been marked “supported.”
