It's more to do with hanging requests in the IdP. The frame isn't the IdP calling them, it's the browser. Different failure mode. Like I said, I'm highly paranoid.

I did actually bottom that out. Duo seems to have an opinion that it's a bad approach, but technically speaking...the full AuthAPI key will work for both AuthAPI and WebSDK/Frame integration. The WebSDK type will not work for AuthAPI.

So you can use one key, if you prefer.
