The secret key is a unique 16 character alphanumeric code that is required during the set up of the PIN generating tools. The secret key is issued through email by logging on to the CommCell environment.
Note
This is a unique key which is only sent the first time you log on to the CommCell environment after Two-Factor Authentication is enabled. Save this email in your records. If your secret key is lost or compromised, contact your Administrator.
Before You Begin
Two-Factor Authentication must be enabled in the CommCell environment.
This must be the first time you log on to the CommCell environment after Two-Factor Authentication is enabled.
