Using Passcodes - Duo Two-Step Verification

You can generate one-time use passcodes using the Duo Two-Step Verification Manager. These passcodes can be stored for later use, and used to provide two-step verification when logging into a protected UB service.

Why use passcodes?

If you cannot access your previously enrolled devices for any reason, generating and keeping a list of passcodes can be a lifesaver. You can use passcodes to:

  • Log into the Duo Two-Step Manager and enroll a new device to use Duo with 
  • Continue to log into protected UB services until you have a chance to enroll a new device, or can contact the UBIT Help Center

Remember to keep your list of passcodes somewhere safe, that only you have access to!

Generating passcodes

  1. Visit the Duo Two-Step Verification Manager
  2. Click Generate Passcodes
  3. Provide your UBITName and password and two-step verification if necessary
  4. Print or write down your 10 passcodes

Notes about passcodes from the Duo Two-Step Verification Manager:

  • Passcodes generated on the Duo Two-Step Manager are one-time use
  • Printed passcodes from the Duo Two-Step Manager can be used in any order
  • You may generate and print only 10 passcodes at a time; generating another additional 10 passcodes invalidates any previous passcodes that were not used.

Logging in with a passcode

  1. When prompted for two-step verification, click or tap Enter a Passcode
  2. Enter the passcode
  3. Click or tap Log In
