Using software tokens
To access a resource protected with Defender, you can use a number of software tokens. A software token generates a token response also known as one-time password (OTP), with which you can authenticate to access a protected resource. From Defender 6.2 onwards, you can also use Push notifications to authenticate the access to the protected resources. For more details, please refer Push Notifications section in the Defender Admin Guide.
To start using a software token, you need to install and activate it. You may need to consult your system administrator to find out what software tokens you can use to authenticate.
