Using Push OTP

Please Note:

Using Push OTP

Support for the push OTP feature depends on the configuration of your SafeNet MobilePASS+ token.

Push OTP simplifies the process of accessing a protected resource, such as a web page, cloud or VPN. A push notification is sent from the login page to your mobile device and can be viewed as follows:

  • An Android locked-screen notification.

  • A pending notification bar displayed on the SafeNet MobilePASS+ app.

After you have approved the login request and entered a PIN (if required according to your tokens’ settings), a passcode is generated by your SafeNet MobilePASS+ app and sent to the login page, logging you in automatically. This eliminates the need to generate a one-time password (OTP) on your mobile device or to enter it into the login page.

You may be required to enter a PIN after approving the push notification.

Logging in with Push OTP

The following procedure uses Microsoft Office 365 as an example of a resource that you want to access. The login steps may vary for other resources.

To log in with push OTP:

  1. Open the login page of the resource and then enter your organization username and password.

    Office 365 login screen

    You are redirected to your organization’s login page.

  2. Enter your login credentials and then select Sign in.

  3. Select Use my mobile to autosend a password and then select Submit.

    The system sends a notification of the login request to your mobile device.

    The Enhanced Approval Workflow is not available for PIN-protected tokens, or where non PIN-protected tokens are not configured to support it.

  4. When the login request arrives on your mobile device, you can respond from the locked screen or from the SafeNet MobilePASS+ app, as described in the following table.
