Change UmiKey 2.0 Settings with UmiKey Writer version 2.x
UmiKey Corp. offers the Windows tool to change settings of your UmiKey as follows:
- If your UmiKey OTP starts with eced, that's
UmiKey 2.0. Use the UmiKey Writer on this page.
- If your UmiKey OTP starts with ecee, that's
UmiKey 3.0, use UmiKey Writer 3.x instead.
This tool runs on Windows OS's only.
To use this tool, make sure you have only one UmiKey inserted into the USB ports of your PC.
- Password: This is used to protect the UmiKey settings from unauthorized
changes. Allowed password characters you can use are:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f. Make sure the password has 16 characters.
- Mode Option: Turn on browser-based auto-navigation to a web site
upon inserting the UmiKey to a USB port
- Web Site: The auto-navigation URL
- Static Key: Make the UmiKey to generate a fixed password. You can
switch back to one-time password mode any time with this tool. A static password has
a fixed
length. For this version you can't and actually don't need to change its length,
because the input box on the web site login box will truncate its length
automatically if necessary.
Other Settings recommended when you make a Static Key:
- Start-up Delay: How long the UmiKey waits to output the auto-navigation
command when it is plugged into the USB port
- Append CR: Append an 'Enter' keystroke after outputing the password
- Auto OTP: After an UmiKey is inserted, an OTP is auto-generated and appended
after the auto-navigation URL. The benefit is that the user doesn't even have to
touch the button to generate one-time password. Browsing and logging in are done
in one shot.
But you have to make sure there is a backend application ready to accept and
validate the UmiKey OTP. The following means the site has a program 'xyz' which
is expecting the OTP.
http://your_web_site/xyz?otp=.....
- After UmiKey settings change,
remove UmiKey from the USB port,
and close this tool.
- Insert UmiKey into a USB port again, your changes will take effect.
