How do I set the default authentication method for MFA?

UCLA’s new multi-factor authentication prompt does not have a way to configure a default authentication device. Instead, it will always prompt you for your last-used authentication method. If you select an option and authenticate with it, Duo will remember and continue to automatically prompt you with it until you authenticate with a different method.
