How Do I Use a Hardware Token?

Tags accounts

A hardware token is a small device that generates a single-use six-digit passcode. There is no need for you to add your hardware token as an additional authentication method to your myaccount.uwsp.edu portal.  It will be configured for your account upon receipt.

MFA hardware tokens fit on a keychain making them easy to remember wherever you go.
