Enable DUO to remember MFA session for 30 days

With the new UT EID Authentication Page, there is an option to allow DUO to remember your Multi-Factor Authentication session for 30 days.

Note:  Logging in to at least one UT web application and activating the DUO Remember me for 30 days option will be remembered by other UT web applications for 30 days.  Performing the action below at least once every 30 days should reduce the frequency of DUO prompts for all web applications.
