How to set up and activate 3SKey tokens:
Show all | Hide all
You have received a 3SKey token and default password from your administrator. Your administrator prepared your token by adding it to the user group.
1. Insert your token into a USB port.
2. Log in
Go to http://www.3skey.com and click Login.
Important
You must use Microsoft Windows and your browser must be correctly configured.
During this procedure, you will be prompted to enter the default password provided by your administrator.
Your Unique ID appears (for example, corp12345678). When the token has been activated, it must be registered with each bank with which you have a relationship.
3. Follow the instructions
Follow the instructions on the screen, without removing the token from the USB port.
Important
Activation of the key will take a few minutes. Please do not cancel the operation by closing the browser or unplugging the token. If the connection times out or hangs for more than 5 minutes then you should restart the browser and log back in, the activation will resume from the last step.
4. Is your token correctly prepared by your administrator?
If the following window appears when you start the activation process, then your token was not properly prepared by your administrator. You must contact your token administrator who will add it to his user list.
5. Accept the general conditions and start the activation
If the token has been correctly prepared by the administrator, then the following window appears after you have accepted the general conditions. Click "Next".
6. Choose a new personal password
Important
Be sure you store the password safely. If the password is lost or if the token is locked after entering five consecutive incorrect passwords, then the token can only be reset with the help of your administrator.
7. Download the security code
The security code is generated automatically during token activation and allows the reset of a token or the recovery of the Unique ID to a new token which avoids the need to re-register with the banks with which you have a relationship.
Click on Download to download the security code as a .txt file. By default the file will be saved in your Downloads folder. Then click on Confirm to proceed.
Open the Security Code file and check that it contains a 16 characters code in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. This code is personal and must not be shared.
Important
Be sure you store the secure code safely. If the password or token is lost, then you need the security code in order to reset or recover the token
8. Generate key
The certificate is being activated. This process takes a few seconds. If it hangs for more than 5 minutes then restart the browser, log back in with the new password and retry the operation, the activation will resume at this step. 
9. Activation is complete
When activation of the token is complete, the following screen appears:
The token is now activated.
Register the information displayed at the Activation complete screen with your partners. To display that information again please log back in with the token on the 3SKey portal and click on the Key Information menu. If you have questions about the registration, please contact your bank.
