RSA SecurID Key Fob (SD600)
Q. What do the small bars on the left of the token display represent?
A. The SecurID token generates a simple one-time authentication code that changes every 60 seconds. With each new authentication code displayed on the token, 6 new bars will appear on the left side of the display. Each bar represents 10 seconds. When there are no bars left on the display, the authentication code displayed will change within 5 seconds and the process will start over again.
Q. How long will my Token last?
A. The SecurID token is a completely disposable device and can be discarded once it reaches the end of its life cycle. The token will cease to present an authentication code after three years. SecurID tokens have a three-year life span. Actual life span may vary depending on when you receive your token.
Q. Do I have to change batteries?
A. There is no battery to replace in your token. After your token ceases to display, a new SecurID token must be purchased for remote StarChart authentication to continue.
Q. Is my token waterproof?
A. The SecurID Key Fob is a lightweight and "water-resistant" token that is well suited for a variety of environments beyond the corporate office. The SecurID token should never be completely submerged in water or left out in the elements but should not be harmed by an occasional exposure to moisture.
Q. What happens if I lose my token?
A. The SecurID token is useless without the 4-digit PIN. Lost tokens must be deactivated by completing and submitting the SecurID disable token form that can be accessed at the URL below. Tokens can also be disabled or reassigned by submitting the appropriate forms.
