Third-party tokens on Android

Before you can use SafeNet MobilePASS+ to generate passcodes, you must enroll a token on your device. The token can be either a SafeNet MobilePASS+ token or a third-party token.

In the token list, third-party tokens have a different icon.

You can enrol a third-party token using one of the following methods:

• QR code enrollment – Scan a QR code to enroll your token.

• Copy-paste enrollment – Manually copy and paste a URL or a third-party token secret.

• External link enrollment - Click a URL on your device from outside of the SafeNet MobilePASS+ app.

As a security best practice Thales Group recommends that you do not use the copy and paste function for the passcode or enrollment strings, because the clipboard is shared among all applications running on a device.
