Dual Mode Profile mode that allows choosing to use either the Synchronous or Challenge/Response user authentication mode for One-Time Password (OTP) generation based on your organization’s security policy. Only available with the Mode V2 menu.

This mode allows choosing to use either the Synchronous or Challenge/Response The process in which a device generates a One-Time Password based on two (2) variables: a challenge (sent by the server to the end-user and input into the device), and a secret key (Triple DES) – the One-Time Password is considered a response to the challenge. user authentication mode for One-Time Password A password generated by a device.
