FIDO Management
-
FIDO Settings: Change or set up the FIDO2 PIN for authentication. Increase the minimum PIN length (managed separately for numeric and alphanumeric PINs).
PIN length can only be increased and cannot be decreased.You can also enforce the user verification setting of the device to always be required (always_uv), regardless of the relying party's settings.
You can also use the "Reset FIDO" button to reset the FIDO Applet to factory settings.Resetting FIDO will remove all FIDO-related data, including PIN and all types of credentials (resident and non-resident). - Passkey Management: View or remove FIDO2 credentials stored on the device.
- Fingerprint Management: Register or manage fingerprint authentication for FIDO2 credentials.
You can enroll, verify, rename, or delete fingerprints.
PIV Management
PIN and PUK Management
- Change PIN: Update the PIV PIN.
- Change Admin PIN: Update the administrative PIN for the PIV.
- Change PUK: Update the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key).
- Unblock PIN: Unblock the PIV PIN if locked. You can unlock the PIN using PUK or Admin PIN.

Reset: Perform a full factory reset of the PIV applet. This removes all PIV credentials and resets the PIN, PUK, and Admin PIN to their default values.
Handle with care — reset action is irreversible.
Certificate Management
You can store up to 15 certificates on Token2 PIV-enabled devices. Certificates can be generated or imported using the PIN or Admin PIN, but they can only be used (for authentication) with the regular user PIN. The user PIN can be reset or unblocked using the PUK or Admin PIN.
