Create a TOTP Token 

To create a TOTP token in a SafeKey/Classic device, follow the steps below (these instructions only apply to the NFC variants of the SafeKey/classic devices - the USB-A variant only supports the HOTP algorithm).

1. Insert a SafeKey/Classic USB key into your PC

2. Run the SafeKey/Classic Programmer tool as Administrator

3. Press the "New Token" button

The "New Token" dialog box will pop up

4. Select the option "Algorithm", e.g. "TOTP"

5. Select the option "Hash", e.g. "SHA-1"

6. Select the option "Digits", e.g. select "6"

7. Select the option "Time Interval", e.g. "30 seconds"

8. Press the "Generate" button to generate a random Seed/Secret data 

9. Optionally, you can also generate a random Serial Number, or you can enter your own Serial Number

Alternatively, you can also copy & paste a secret/seed data

10. If you're programming the key for an O365 user, then you might want to enter the user's UPN in the Username box

11. Finally, press the "Save" button, and touch the key immediately to save the token into the USB key.

You will see the key flashing. You must touch the key immediately to complete the operation

To continue programming more SafeKey devices, insert a new key and repeat the Step 9 to 11.

Once all keys have been programmed, close the Tool.
