• Support – Pin Management & Failed token must be managed
Existing Form Factors
Hardware Tokens
• End user must remember to carry the token!
• Deployment - Remote users must be sent a hardware device
• Token may require resynchronisation

Passcode
Passcode
573921
347865

The first 6 digit passcode is sent at enrolment
One Time Code
Each authentication (good or bad) send’s the next required code
Each Code can only be used once
Day Code
Each day (or set number of days) a new code is sent if used
If the current day code hasn’t been used, it’s still secret and will
not require updating
Each day code can be reused for the current and following day
Tmp Code
A pre-agreed static code that automatically switches back to
One Time or Day Code after a set number of days
10 failed attempts in a row disables account and
SMS messages (all modes)
PIN Management
Traditional Approach
UserID: fred
PIN: 3687
Passcode:435891
Microsoft Password: P0stcode
Two Factor Authentication requires something you know
& something you own
Why authenticate with two things you know?
The SecurEnvoy Approach
UserID: fred
Microsoft Password: P0stcode
Passcode: 435891
Reuse The Microsoft or other LDAP Password as the PIN
Easier end user authentication experience
No PIN Administration required
