Need a DUO Mobile Passcode?
To allow for flexibility and authentication from multiple locations the Information Technology department recommends defining multiple devices within Duo; however, we realize this may not always be feasible and may not cover all scenarios. DUO Mobile Passcodes, or bypass codes, are an additional option for use when the defined authentication device is unavailable.
Methods for Obtaining DUO Mobile Passcodes
Smartphone/Tablet Mobile App
When configured with a smartphone or tablet, the Duo mobile app can create bypass codes even without a cellular or Wi-Fi connection. DUO Mobile Passcodes, or bypass codes have a limited timeframe and will expire.
To create a bypass code:
- Open the Duo Mobile app
- Tap the 果冻传媒 account
- The bypass code is presented.
Note: Tapping the 果冻传媒 account multiple times will produce multiple bypass codes. You will need to record them for later use, they will not continue to be displayed within the mobile app.
果冻传媒 2FA Tools Website
To aid in the creation of multiple bypass codes, a has been created that will produce 10 bypass codes. Codes created through the website are non-expiring and single use.
To create bypass codes:
- Access the
- Enter your network credentials and 2FA
- Click Bypass Codes Create
- Click "I agree"

You will need to record these codes for later use. A Print Codes option is available.
