Every incorrect PIN verification attempt consumes a PIN retry attempt counter. Try to avoid repetitive wrong attempts.

  • Verify PIN: Enter the PIN into the input field, click Verify PIN.

    This feature helps the end-user to confirm their token’s PIN if they are unsure about it.

  • Change PIN: Enter Current PIN, New PIN, and Confirm PIN into each input field, click Change PIN.

    This feature enables the end-user to change their compromised or existing PIN. It is recommended to use the Verify PIN feature and confirm your existing PIN before attempting Change PIN.

  • Reset PIN: Enter an existing PIN for Administrator and a New PIN for User, click Reset.

    This feature resets the token (re-initializes the token and deletes all the data) and helps in creating a new PIN for the user.

Waarschuwing

When you reset a PIN, all your keys and certificates are deleted. The Reset PIN functionality is not supported for Yubico tokens.
