Yeah, I'm an every-day-user of enterprise Duo app. It is as good as a third-party app can be (on iOS specifically), yet you have to do extra steps as compared to Touch ID alone: force-press the notification, click Accept, then confirm with Touch ID. The first steps out of two are just a limitation of how apps work in iOS. If your phone is in sleep mode, you will miss the notification as well. Such things really need to be implemented on OS level.

But apart from arguably good iOS app UI, it takes the whole IT department to enable Duo 2FA and educate employees on how to enable and use it on their personal accounts, and that's what I don't like about Duo and other solutions. Also, this is just a second step of the two-factor auth, which means the first step (usually plain old username/password auth) is still there.

In my ideal world, I'd prefer something that worked out of the box (with very easy bootstrapping process). I believe SecureLogin, as a concept, has potential here, and if implemented right, might lead to some standardization and implementation of more transparent 1FA/2FA flows.
