Token2 miniOTP-3 programmable card with restricted time sync

27-03-2019

New model of programmable TOTP token, now with restricted time sync.


Some of our programmable hardware tokens allow syncing the hardware clock using a special app. This is ideal for systems not supporting time drift or if the tokens are planned to be enrolled a few years after the purchase. The time sync feature is implemented in 2 different ways:
Unrestricted time sync
With this method, the time can be set keeping the current seed.
Restricted time sync
Setting the time will automatically clear the seed for security purposes (to avoid the risk of a replay attack).
The tokens with unrestricted time sync are available on our online shop since February 2019. Today, we are glad to announce that the first model with restricted time sync (miniOTP-3) is being finalized and will be available mid-April. miniOTP-3 can be pre-ordered here.

Note! Different from miniOTP-2 and OTPC-P1, with this token, setting time will automatically clear the current seed to eliminate the risk of replay attacks. Therefore this model is not recommended to be used with systems not supporting time drift, such as DUO
