Self-Service Duo Bypass Codes are Not Currently Available

Duo Bypass Codes can currently only be generated by the Help Desk and at DELTA Testing Locations.

If you are in need of a bypass code for Duo, contact the Help Desk at 919-515-4357 (HELP). Staff are available to generate bypass codes 24/7. 

If you are unable to call the Help Desk, please submit a request on the IT Service Portal or email the Help Desk at help@ncsu.edu requesting a Google Meet/Zoom Meeting.

Use Your Duo Bypass Code

Once Help Desk staff have generated a bypass code, you can use it after signing in with your Unity ID and password.

    • For VPN, enter the bypass code in the Second password field.
  2. Select the Bypass code tab.
  3. Enter your bypass code in the Bypass code field.
  4. Select Verify.
