Further Token

Further token are not mandatory, but if for some reason you no longer have access to the first token, you must apply for another token via IT support, which takes some time, so we recommend activating at least a 2nd token on a different device.
ID Austria can also be used in our SSO systems as a 2FA solution, but if it is installed on the same device as the 1st 2FA token, even ID Austria will not help if this device is lost or defective; in addition, ID Austria cannot be coupled with our VPN system.

To activate another token on another device, proceed as follows:

  1. Prerequisite: You have a valid active token.

    If you no longer have a valid active token, you must report it, then you will get an initial registration token in TUGRAZonline again and with this token you can perform an initial activation again.

  2. Consider on which further device you want to activate the next token, up to 4 tokens are possible, we recommend to activate at least 2:
    • On a (further) smartphone
    • On a tablet
    • On a notebook
    • On a desktop computer
    On this device, install the application recommended for your operating system.
  1. On your computer, open the privacyIDEA website.
  2. Enter the following:
    1. in the field TU Graz Username: your TUGRAZonline username
    2. in the Onetime-Password field: the 6-digit number (code) from your device's 2FA app with an active token.

    Log In Click Log In.

  1. Click on Tokens and Enroll Token.

    Enroll

  2. Enter a description, e. g. on which device you want to roll out this token.

    Enroll Click Enroll Token, again.

  1. You will now be shown a QR code.

    QR-Code

Continue analogously to the activation of the 1st token, shown here using the mobile app privacyIDEA as an example (for the desktop app, follow the descriptions there):

  1. Take the device on which you want to install the additional token and scan the QR code using the 2FA app installed there.
  2. A 6-digit number will now be displayed in the app on this device:

    Code

  3. Enter this number in the confirmation field on the privacyIDEA website and click Verify Token.

    Verify Token

    Without this last step (the verification) you have created another token, but it will not work!

  4. You have successfully created the next token.
