Create a PIN and Authenticate with a Passcode (Tokencode Screen)

If your token requires a PIN, you normally create your PIN during your first RSA SecurID authentication.

Use the following procedure if the SecurID desktop application displays the Tokencode screen and your VPN client application requests a passcode (or a PIN and tokencode).

Note: Your user name is normally the user name that you use to log on to your desktop.

To complete first-time authentication:

1. Start the SecurID desktop application on your desktop.
   The Tokencode screen is displayed.

2. Connect to your VPN client.

3. In the User Name field, enter the user name that your administrator assigned.
   You are prompted for a passcode.

4. In the SecurID desktop application, click the Copy button to copy the tokencode.

5. Return to the VPN client and paste the tokencode in the Passcode field.
   You are prompted to create a PIN.

6. Follow the prompts to create and confirm your PIN.
   Use the PIN format that your administrator specified. Memorize your PIN. After you create your PIN, you are prompted for a new passcode.

7. Enter your PIN in the Passcode field.

8. Return to the SecurID desktop application and wait for the tokencode to change. After the tokencode changes, click the Copy button to copy the tokencode.

9. Return to the VPN client. Paste the tokencode next to your PIN. Click OK to submit your passcode.
