Server PIN Settings

Prev Next

A server PIN is a PIN that the user types into the logon password field in front of the OTP generated by the authenticator. This PIN is verified by OneSpan Authentication Server. The authenticator PIN, on the other hand, is a PIN typed into a keypad on the authenticator. This PIN is verified by the authenticator itself, and is never transmitted to the server.
