Bypass Codes

Logging in with a Passcode

To use bypass codes to authenticate, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your CalNet account with your usual credentials (ex: https://bpr.calnet.berkeley.edu/account-manager/login/auth).
  2. Once the Duo screen is prompted, showing your default device choice, select "Other Options" located at the bottom. 
  3. If you are automatically logged in and the 2-Step prompt is bypassed, try either clearing cache/cookies or using an incognito browser.
  4. Then, select "Bypass code" located toward the bottom of the list of verification devices.
  5. Enter your code and click verify. You're done! For information on receiving bypass codes, please keep reading!
