One-Time Passwords for Protecting Accounts Against Identity Theft
Protect your accounts against identity theft. One-time passwords are generated in the Nitrokey and function as a secondary authentication factor for logins (additional to your normal password). Thus, your accounts remain secure, even in the event that your passwords are stolen. -
Secure Storage of Cryptographic Keys
