ID Control BV, the specialist in advanced online identity and access management announced her new longer lasting hardware One Time Password generating Token to fight online identity theft and fraud.

With the ID Control OTP Key, a new one-time password (OTP) is issued every time a user remotely and securely wants to log into the protected remote access of networks, applications and digital resources. The user generates an OTP by pressing a button on the small and low-cost device. A new dynamic password is then calculated and displayed on the screen. What makes the ID Control OTP Key unique is the replaceable and renewable battery option.

At this moment millions of hardware authentication tokens yearly retire due too empty batteries or expiration in the trash bin of many organizations causing pollution and even a high re-investment. The administrator gets the burden by having to re-issue and re-distribute new hardware tokens while purchase and non-productivity costs rise tremendously. Durability was key to development of this new OTP token, with smarter power conservation, longer battery life expectancy, and no self-expiration, the ID Control OTP Key generates OTPs in a sustainable and affordable way.

Hans Kortekaas, CEO of ID Control, indicates when using hardware for strong authentication more organizations should consider the impact on the environment. Hardware OTP Keys are ideal for strong authentication to web based applications and networks and with a replaceable battery the costs for distribution, support and purchase become much lower while causing less impact on the environment.
The ID Control OTP Key is an affordable and user-friendly strong authentication technique that is available for access to online applications, networks, VPN, server based computing and other services.
