Enroll on macOS
Before you can use SafeNet MobilePASS+ for macOS to generate passcodes, you must enroll a SafeNet MobilePASS+ token on your computer using one of the following methods:
-
Automatic Enrollment: Automatically copy and paste the activation code into the Auto Enrollment window by clicking Enroll your SafeNet MobilePASS+ token on the notification email.
-
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.
