HOTPin
HOTPin is a system that provides two-factor authentication services for
Celestix appliances. HOTPin normally uses a PIN and token code to create
a passcode. You can also configure HOTPin for one-factor authentication
using just the token code for authentication. The system includes a server
application, client software token applications (client software) and token
provider options.
HOTPin User Website
When enabled, the user provisioning site allows end users to setup HOTPin
accounts, token generation method, and client software.
increment authentication failures
A security feature that limits the number of times a user is sent a token code
before successful authentication. When enabled, the user's login failure
counter is incremented each time a provider sends a token code, and the
user will be locked out if they exceed the maximum limit as defined in the
Maximum Authentication Failures setting.
internal key
An internal key is used in client software to generate token codes.

new pin mode
