Authentication error when using hardware keys
Issue
Users who only have a hardware key configured in Duo (e.g., Yubikey, Apple Touch ID, Windows Hello) will be presented with a bypass code option when attempting to connect to VPN.
Workaround
Instead of using a hardware key, use mobile push or text message to authenticate. Visit the Duo multi-factor authentication page for more information or the manage devices tutorial to learn how to check your current device options.
