Reiner SCT Authenticator Hardware Authenticator

Entering only your username and password for a login is no longer secure nowadays. Almost all leading online platforms therefore offer the possibility of logging in with a further component. This so-called two-factor authentication (2FA) provides a high protection level for your user account against misuse and identity theft even when your username and password fall into the wrong hands. A frequently used method for 2FA is the time-based one-time password method or TOTP for short. Authenticator apps on smart phones are often used. However, the TOTP is easy to spy on because of the limited security of smart phones. Hardware-based TOTP generators offer maximum security. The REINER SCT Authenticator saves the electronic codes for the logins safely in its hardware and then generates the TOTP codes with high accuracy every 30 seconds. It works without connection to the Internet and is therefore immune to online attacks. Its function can be protected additionally by a PIN. The REINER SCT Authenticator detects the authentication data displayed by the online platform in the form of a QR code in a split second by means of its built-in camera and assigns these to an account.
