One-Time Passwords

A one-time password can be generated either on the request of a user (while they are logging in to a Windows Client computer) or without a request, by an Ekran System user who has been added as a trusted user (i.e. Approver) who can manage one-time password requests for the Windows Client computer concerned.

NOTE: This feature is only available with an activated serial key for the Enterprise Edition of Ekran System.
