Saving a Security Key

You save an externally storable copy of the security key when the security key
is first created and each time it is changed. You can create additional storable
copies at any time. To save a new copy of the security key, you must provide a
pass phrase. The pass phrase you choose does not need to match the pass
phrase used when the security key was created or last changed. The pass
phrase is applied to the particular copy of the security key you are saving.
