Hardware Token

Your system administrator may provide you with a hardware token that allows you to authenticate and get access to resources protected with Defender. Before you start using the hardware token for authentication, you need to register it. You can either have the system administrator register the hardware token for you or you can register the token yourself.

Your system administrator may configure a special Web site called the Defender Self-Service Portal where you can register hardware tokens. Contact your system administrator to learn if you can use the Defender Self-Service Portal to register hardware tokens and to obtain the address (URL) of the portal Web site.
