    (The maximum number of allowable sets of S/Key passwords is displayed on the Authentication Parameters Page.)

  3. Type the personal identification number (PIN).

    The PIN must be at least five alpha-numeric characters long.

  4. Type the PIN again for confirmation.

  6. Give the end user the generated list of passwords, the unique user ID (uuid), and, separately, the PIN that you used in generating the list.

  7. Remind the end user to keep the PIN separate from the unique user ID and the list of passwords.
