Two factor authentication
The two-factor authentication for the Galaxkey Manager is OTP based and uses mobile phones. The OTP generation is facilitated in two ways:
1.Using Galaxkey app on your device as a software token for One Time Password (OTP) generation. The generated One Time Password is valid for only a short period and is generated by factors that are unique to both, the user and the device itself.
2.Using a SMS-based mechanism. The SMS-based system is also implemented as a backup mechanism for retrieving the password.
