Token Devices
A token device, also referred to as a hard token device or hard token, generates
token codes using an external key that must be imported to HOTPin. Once the
key has been imported, it can then be assigned to a user account. The key on
the server must be in sync with the device to produce valid token codes for
login. Key fobs are a common token device.
Token Providers
Token providers send the token codes used in passcodes to users from the
server. The Email OTP Provider can send a token code to an email address or a
mobile device that can receive text messages (requires phone service that
provides an SMS gateway). The HTTP OTP Provider can use a web application
or SMS server to send a token code to a mobile phone. The SMS OTP Provider
can send codes through a modem attached to the HOTPin Server.
Please Note:
 To maintain synchronization with the server, a user should use only one
token code generation method at a time.
 If using client software or a hard token, a user should only use one device at
a time.
