Load the authentication app on your smartphone or tablet. Note: The Fanso Soft Token is now known as PKI Token. If you have the Fanso Soft Token already installed in your computer, you can skip this process and go to the OTP setup, needed for your smartphone or tablet. Which one to get? If you use the same machine on a daily basis, then get the PKI soft token. If you bounce around to different machines, then the authentication app is for you. You can also get both! No harm done.
