After the permissible number of failed attempts has been exceeded, the main key
flashes red and yellow three times alternately. The KOBRA Stick then switches into
authentication mode. At the same time the KOBRA Stick automatically deletes the old
crypto keys, generates two new crypto keys and sets the user PIN back to the default
setting.
Following successful authentication with a new user PIN the KOBRA Stick formats
the data storage. The main key flashes blue continuously during formatting. Then the
main key lights up green or purple depending on the write protection setting previously
selected. The other keys are deactivated and access to the KOBRA Stick is enabled. The
stick partition shows up on the desktop and can then be used.
All data previously stored is erased during this process!
If no further entries are made within 20 seconds of starting a command process, the
KOBRA Stick connected to a PC automatically switches to wait mode. In battery mode,
the stick returns to sleep mode after 20 seconds.
This function does not apply to the authenticated KOBRA Stick if it is already connected
to a PC or is connected at the latest within 20 seconds after successful authentication.
The time for a possible automatic locking of the authenticated KOBRA Stick connected
to a PC is controlled by the time-out settings, if any have been set (Chapter 5.7).
In addition to the classic "logoff" mechanisms such as "safe removal" via the PC taskbar
and the physical disconnection of the USB, the KOBRA Stick also has a quick-out
function for quick logoff. This function is performed by double clicking the "×" button
within 2 seconds.
Note:
To ensure the security of your data, it is essential to change the default user PIN. You
should also change the user PIN at regular intervals in future. The user PIN must be kept
secret.
