Support for the push OTP feature depends on the configuration of your SafeNet MobilePASS+ token.

Push OTP simplifies the process of accessing a protected resource, such as a webpage, cloud or VPN. A push notification is sent from the login page to your mobile device or computer.

After you have approved the login request with a tap of a button, and entered a PIN (if required according to your tokens’ settings), a passcode is generated by your SafeNet MobilePASS+ app and sent to the login page, logging you in automatically. This eliminates the need to generate a one-time passcode (OTP) on your mobile device or to enter it into the login page.
