About Token Storage Devices

You can import software tokens to a device supported by the SecurID desktop application. Normally, when you import a token, it is automatically stored on the local hard drive of your computer. The desktop application lists the default storage device as "Local hard drive (RSA)." However, your administrator may direct you to import tokens to another supported device.

You can manage token storage devices, as follows:

Select a token storage device. If your administrator has configured the application to allow you to store tokens on more than one type of device, you must select the device on which you want to store the tokens. For more information, see Select a Token Storage Device.

Set a password to protect the tokens that reside on a device. If you store tokens on your local hard drive, you can set a single device password that protects all of the tokens. For more information, see Protect Tokens Stored on Your Hard Drive. If you store tokens on another type of supported device, you can set a device password or enter other credentials (such as a fingerprint scan), as instructed by your administrator. For more information, see Protect Tokens Stored on a Device Other Than the Hard Drive.
