Please note that during the activation of your Hideez Key, you will need to set up a PIN code. This PIN code will be used for authentication using the FIDO standard. Additionally, you will enter this PIN code each time you unlock your computer using the Hideez key for the first time after turning it on or restarting it.
The administrator can configure separate access settings for each Hideez Key. Access settings can only be set via HES. Settings are grouped into profiles. The first profile - Default - is created during the installation of HES, the administrator adds the rest.
To configure profiles, go to the Hardware Vaults section, Access Profiles tab.
