Click this button to invalidate the token. You cannot re-validate old
tokens, but you can use the same SD cards to create new tokens.
After using the token created for authentication, do not leave it inserted in
the SD card slot, ensure that the token is removed from the slot and stored
in a safe location. If the token is left in the slot, there is a danger of theft or
a third party using it for authentication and operating the user's computer
(resulting in extraction, modification or deletion of data) when the user is
not at their desk.
