Enroll MobilePASS+ tokens on iOS

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.

You can enroll a SafeNet MobilePASS+ token using one of the following methods:

• Self-enrollment: (STA only) Enroll a token from the user portal, and then use it immediately to log in.

• Automatic Enrollment: Automatically copy and paste the activation code into the Auto Enrollment window by clicking the Enroll your SafeNet MobilePASS+ token link on the notification email.

• QR Code Enrollment: Scan a QR code to enroll your SafeNet MobilePASS+ token. This is recommended when you cannot receive email or open the self-enrollment URL from the target device.

• Copy-Paste Enrollment: Manually copy and paste the activation string into the activation string field if you have difficulties with automatic enrollment.

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

A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection with the STA server is required for all SafeNet MobilePASS+ token activation methods.
