One Time Password (OTP) Tokens
What is OTP (One Time Password), and how does it work?
OTP (One Time Password) is an authentication procedure used for secure access to institutional or sensitive data at Indiana University. It uses a physical device, called an OTP token, to help verify your identity to the authenticating service.
The OTP token itself is a small device, roughly the size of a USB drive, with a single button and a display; they are compact and waterproof. The tokens are DIGIPASS GO 6 authenticators, manufactured by Vasco Data Security.
When advised by your supervisor to obtain an OTP, you must complete the following steps:
- Complete the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Tutorial.
- Complete and print the OTP Token Request Form.
