Answer

Request new token

I downloaded the FortiToken app but have not received any activation code via email.

How can I get a new barcode to register my account?

Contact your IT or support team to request an activation code.

Activate token

I have a new phone and need to scan a key code or add it manually to get access to my remote work station. Which method should I use?

Both ways work equally well. The easier method is scanning the QR code to activate the token.

Transfer token

I switched phones and need to transfer tokens from my old phone to my new phone. How do I do this?

To transfer your tokens:

  1. Launch the FortiToken app on your old device.

  2. Tap info on an iOS device or the menu icon on an Android device.

  3. Tap Transfer Tokens and follow the instruction to start the token transfer. An email with a transfer code will be sent to you.

  4. Scan the transfer code on the new device to complete the token transfer process.

Duplicate token

I’m having problems scanning the barcode. It tells me I have duplicate barcodes on my account.

This error means you have duplicate tokens with same token serial number. Please delete the existing token then scan the barcode again.

Expired token

I have an SMS mesage with an activation code. When I fill in my login and password (activation code), I get the error : "FortiCare : provision code not exist".

This activation code has expired so it cannot be activated. You must request a new token.

See the FortiToken Mobile User Guide for more information about how to activate your token.
