One-Time Password (OTP) Tokens from HID go beyond simple, static passwords to provide organizations an easy way to increase trust in a user’s identity and grant them appropriate access.

Some common device based authentication mechanisms are SMS or email authentication (possession of mobile phone or email account, respectively), HID Approve and OTP Tokens. In the HID Authentication Service, devices are assigned to a user and have identifying attributes such as a serial number.

HID’s extended use case credentials, including ActivID one-time password (OTP) tokens and Crescendo smart cards, provide robust multi-factor authentication.

You can activate and register an HID Approve Token for OTP authentication by: Scanning a QR-based code with your device's camera using the HID Approve mobile application (Recommended) Clicking a QR-based code to automatically register HID Approve on Microsoft Windows 10 computers (Recommended)

You can manage the HID Approve, OTP Token, and Contactless Card authentication methods in the Devices tab.

The HID ActivID Mini Token generates a random password that cannot be re-used. The end-user gains access to resources by using two-factor authentication (2FA) also known as MFA (Multi-factor Authentication) methods - something they have (i.e., the OTP generated by the token) and a “secret” they know (software PIN number).
