Product HowTo

Product description

SecureKey A1 is a wallet password generator. It’s a ruggedized electronic device that combines

at least two arbitrary personal pins, and one keypad sequence, to generate strong passwords. It

is also a wallet password because it is able to “remember”, the strong password that it

generates.

Setup procedure

To use the device, it is mandatory to complete the

setup procedure. During this activity the user will

insert in the device at least two personal PINs

and one unlock key PUK. After this procedure the

Secure Key A1 will be ready to generate strong

passwords.

Emergency Backup

It is mandatory to save separately the personal PINs

and PUK. With the personal PINs , the owner or

another subject, with a new device, could generate the same passwords. For this reason the

PINs, and PUK must be saved in a safe place. Pay attention, there is no way to generate the

same passwords without these PINs. After the ﬁrst setup, unlock the device with the PUK and

type the sequence 000# to visualize on a notepad all the PINs and the PUK, at the end, print it

and archive it.
