Using Duo Mobile Passcodes

Tip
titleUsing Duo Passcodes

Use the Duo Mobile app to generate passcodes that can be used if you don't have a cellular or Wi-Fi connection.  Passcodes are useful for domestic as well as international travel. Passcodes never expire, but they can only be used once, and must be used in the order they are created. If generating more than one at at time, be sure to save them in a secure location.  Watch how to Authenticate with Mobile Passcodes - Duo Security. 

Generate Passcodes in the Duo Mobile App

  1. On your device, launch the Duo Mobile App

  2. The Passcode is displayed in the form of 6 dots (......).  Tap 'Show' to display 6-digit passcode.
