Changing the PIN code

Changing the PIN code

Previous Top Next

Dekart Logon allows to define and manage the Key Storage Device PIN-code, used to access Dekart Logon user credentials. The PIN-code protected devices provide strong authentication, as they cannot be used without knowing the PIN code by any other than KSD holder user. There are two reasons to change the KSD PIN-code:

·	As there is no predefined PIN code on the new KSD, it should be set up to provide the required level of security.

·	The PIN code can be changed at regular time intervals as defined by the respective company security policy.

·	The PIN code should be changed if it has become available to the third-party, i.e. if it has been stolen.

To change the PIN code of the Key Storage Device, do the following:

1.	Follow the instructions provided in "Administering Dekart Logon - preliminary steps".

2.	Go to *Settings (Key settings)* and click *Change PIN*.

3.	Fill in the required fields, as shown in Figure 19. If you want to use the KSD without the PIN code, check the *Remove PIN* checkbox (Figure 20).

4.	Click OK. All changes will be written onto Key Storage Device memory.
