Making a backup

Every QR Code that is shown to you in your
application for creating a TOTP account in the
REINER SCT Authenticator mini contains a
secret electronic key. The TOTP code is created
individually for your account based on this key.
In order to save this key as an emergency
backup, we recommend you to save this
QR Code encrypted as a graphic file or to
print it on paper and file it in a safe place.
Files and folders can easily be encrypted with
standard Windows, macOS and Linux tools.
4 / Using the REINER SCT
Authenticator mini
If you have created at least one account in the
REINER SCT Authenticator mini, switch on the
device with the button. You are immediately
shown a list of the created accounts. Select the
desired account by touching.
Account overviews
The REINER SCT Authenticator mini has
differently sorted displays of the created
TOTP accounts.

5 / Using PIN protection
An important and exclusive security function of
the REINER SCT Authenticator mini is the PIN
protection. If the PIN protection is activated,
the REINER SCT Authenticator mini can only
be used after entering the PIN. This effectively
protects the REINER SCT Authenticator mini
against unauthorised use.
Important note: When you activate the PIN
protection, make sure that you remember the
entered PIN! You can no longer use the REINER
SCT Authenticator mini without resetting it to
the factory settings first if you forget the PIN!
For security reasons, the forgotten PIN cannot
be recovered, not even by REINER SCT.
If the wrong PIN is entered five times, the
REINER SCT Authenticator mini resets to factory
settings and all keys, accounts and the PIN are
deleted. The REINER SCT Authenticator mini
is then in the initial state as if it were a new
device.
