Hardware Tokens

The term "hardware" refers to FortiToken (FTK) which is the only hardware token that FTC currently supports. The Hardware page shows all FortiTokens used by end-users in your account. It also offers tools for adding and deleting FTKs.

You can access the Hardware page by clicking Tokens > Hardware on the main menu. The following table describes the information on the Hardware page.

Column Description
Checkbox

If checked, the corresponding hardware token becomes selected and the Delete button enabled. You can then click the button to delete that hard token. For more information, see Delete hard tokens.

Note: You can also check the checkbox in the column header to select all the hard tokens and delete them all at once.

Serial Number The serial number of the hardware token.

Model

The model of the hardware token, which can be one of the following:

  • FTK200
  • FTK220
  • Other

Algorithm

The algorithm of time-based one-time password authentication used by the hardware token.

  • TOTP (default)
Username

The username of the FTC user to whom a FortiToken has been assigned.

Note: If this field is blank, it means that the FortiToken has not been assigned to any user yet.

Last Update

The date and time of the most recent update of the hard token.

The Import Tokens button enables you to add hard tokens to your account. You can either manually add serial numbers of hard tokens one by one or batch-upload them by importing a .csv file which contains the serial numbers of the hard tokens you want to add to your account. See Batch-upload hard tokens.

Caution

FortiToken Cloud only supports FTK200 and FTK220 hardware tokens. The FTK200CD (with the serial number prefix FTK211) is NOT supported.

Add hard tokens manually

Note

If FTK is set as the default MFA method in the settings of a realm, you can select users on the Users page and let FTC automatically assign FTKs to them by clicking the Auto-assign FTK button. See Users.
