Loading browser cookies into WWW::Mechanize

[bakiperl]

Folks,
I need help with WWW::Mechanize to automate a login to a page that uses Duo-Authentication. I am able to load the credentials and login but I need to silently pass the second check using the information that is saved in the cookies by the browser (Chrome or any other browser if necessary). Once this is achieved I should be able to things I was able to do before the implementation of the Duo-Authentication.

This call

$cookie_jar->load($cookie_file);

returns this warning: "Decrypted cookies is not set up at..."
Here is what I have so far.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies::Chrome;

my $username = '**********';
my $passwd = '*********';

my $cookie_file = 'C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User 
+Data/Default/Cookies'; #chrome cookies path on windows
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Chrome->new(
#        chrome_safe_storage_password => '***",  # I don't know what t
+o do here
        file => $cookie_file,
#        autosave       => 1,
#       ignore_discard => 0, 
        );

$cookie_jar->load($cookie_file);

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( 
     cookie_jar => $cookie_jar,
    );

#$mech->cookie_jar->scan(sub { print Dumper \@_ });
#print $cookie_jar->as_string;


my $uri = URI->new( "https://www.*****.com" ); 

$mech->get( $uri );
unless ($mech->success)
{
    my $mesg = $mech->response->status_line;
    print $mesg;
    goto END;
}

$mech->set_fields(
    username => $username,
    password => $passwd,
);
$mech -> submit(); 

sleep(2);

$mech->success() or die "Can't fetch the Requested page";

my @form =  ( "formname" );
$mech->form_with_fields( @form );                

my $value ='******';

eval {$mech->select('fieldName', $value)};
if ($@ and $@ =~ /Illegal value/)
{
    print "This page has not been loaded...";
    goto END;
}
END :
