#Something you know, e.g. password, PIN
Using UniMate is safer than using a static password alone, as authentication requires two factors. The first factor is the physical UniMate device itself, which contains the digital certificate used during the authentication process. The second factor is the password to log onto the UniMate device before beginning the transaction process.

The traditional authentication method is user name/password combo, users submit their user name and password to servers, but this method is not secure and convenient as the static password may be obtained by hackers via guess or steal, and if the password is changed too frequently, users may forget their password.

How does UniMate work?

UniMate authentication utilizes PKI technology, where employed certificates are securely stored within the UniMate device and are inaccessible without the appropriate permissions to interact with the device. UniMate leverages the TRRS audio port found on most, if not all, mobile devices for secured communication during use of the device, in addition to providing a USB interface for use and configuration on desktop platforms.

How can I begin using UniMate?

The first factor is the physical UniMate device itself, which contains the digital certificate used during the authentication process. The second factor is the password to log onto the UniMate device before beginning the transaction process. These added factors in the authentication process make it substantially more difficult for unauthorized access over using a single factor.

What is the default PIN of UniMate?

The default Admin PIN is eight zeros, or "00000000", without quotation marks. The default User PIN is eight ones, or "11111111", without quotation marks.
