You can use your hardware token to get a one-time passcode (OTP) that you can use for secure authentication with PingID. To set up your hardware token, you need to register or 'pair' it with your account.
Pairing creates a trust between the hardware token and your account so that you can use it to authenticate during the sign on process.
You can use a hardware token to access your account using a Web browser, to access your company's VPN, or to access a Windows login or Mac login machine.
