Hardware Token-Based

Supports hardware tokens, which are often USB-sized, fob-like devices that store codes.

Software Token

Offers software tokens, which are applications installed on a mobile phone, wearable devices, or desktops and generate time-based one-time passcodes (TOTP) that a user can easily copy. Software tokens work both online and offline.
