I'm not sure of what you're talking about, but it certainly is not intended that anything like that would be happening in an intercept. I know of a couple of Duo plugins, in addition to mine, and I don't think either runs as an intercept.

It's physically possible to alter the authenticate state at that point, but it is ill-advised and definitely not a supported feature. By then, a lot of important logic has been run that relies on the completed state.

I don't know what's there "now" but having implemented opt-in via a cookie, it would be conceptually similar to using an attribute to trigger it, and I definitely had to do that inside a custom login flow.
