HOTP authentication

Prev Next

Some Digipass FX7 variants can be ordered with one pre-configured OATH-HOTP application.

Setup

A host file with the HOTP secrets is delivered together with the FX7 devices which have the HOTP application pre-configured. This hostfile needs to be loaded in the back-end system by the system administrator

Generate one-time password

To generate a one-time password

  1. Place the cursor in the field that requires the one-time password (OTP).

  2. Connect your Digipass FX7 via USB.

  3. Press and hold the button. An OTP will be inserted at the cursor position.

The authenticator will be recognized as a keyboard when the HOTP application is configured. Some systems (typically some mobile devices) might hide the virtual keyboard while the authenticator is inserted.
