There is a growing list of websites which can be used with Nitrokey's OTPs. Using a small tray icon application, your Nitrokey generates OTPs which are required in order to log in to configured websites and applications. OTPs protect against identity theft, which means that if your password is compromised your account is still secured by the Nitrokey. One Time Passwords (OTP) are similar to TANs and are used as a secondary security measure in addition to ordinary passwords. Nitrokey aims to replace passwords by utilising the following strong authentication procedures: One Time Passwords (OTP)
This renders passwords insecure and impractical to use. Passwords should be unique and the same one should never be used for multiple accounts.
