Set an S/Key password

Select Set an S/Key password

When you login over the Internet, it is possible for your password to be sniffed by a cracker watching packets go by. To prevent this, you can use one-time passwords. This option, called S/Key, manages one-time password use. Using this option you can generate one password to use immediately, or you can generate 100 passwords and print them out. Then, each time you log in over an insecure channel, you use one of these passwords.

Note: if at any time you don't want to use a one-time password, your regular password will work.

The passwords are generated in raw postscript. If you cannot print raw postscript, you can still generate one password at a time and use it immediately.
