You can set a device password to protect all of the tokens stored on your local hard drive. The device password can contain from 1 to 20 characters. If you need to protect tokens stored on another device, see Protect Tokens Stored on Devices Other Than the Hard Drive.
Note: If your administrator has disabled the Change Device Password option, you cannot set, change, or remove a device password.
Once you have set a device password, the application prompts for the device password the first time that you perform a protected operation with a token. For example, you must enter the device password after you enter a PIN, rename a token, or when you attempt to delete a token. You are prompted for the device password only once during your session.
Important: Be sure to memorize your device password. If you forget it, you will not be able to use your tokens, and you will have to reset your device and request new tokens. For more information, see Forgot device password.
For added security, you may want to change the password periodically. You can also remove the password, but keep in mind that this removes the additional protection from your tokens.
To set a device password:
Click Options > Token Storage Devices, and click Change Device Password.
In the New Password field, enter a password of 1 to 20 characters.
In the Confirm Password field, reenter the password, and click OK.
