Microsoft One Time Password

[Prince Aboubakar]

Aone-time password (OTP) is used to provide authentication when someone is setting up and deploying Teams Rooms consoles that run on Windows without the need for a specific username and password used on the device. The one-time password is created in the Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro Management portal and only used for a single sign in session. Each Teams Rooms console you're deploying in your organization will need its own one-time password, else, its credentials will need to be added during a manual setup.

When someone is adding Microsoft Teams Rooms consoles to your organization, the one-time password will be used for device authentication instead of a username and password that in the past was required to set up the console.

You must select a resource account for which the value in the Readiness status column is No action needed.You can also search for specific resource accounts using the search bar. You just have to ensure that whatever is the resource account that you've searched for, that resource account should have the value No action needed in its Readiness status column.

Once you've generated the OTP you're presented with the option to download the OTPs with or without the resource account passwords so you can save this information and share it with whomever might be setting up your devices.

By default the OTP is valid for 8 hours, however you can adjust the validity period of the OTP to be up to 2 weeks (336 hours). You can also choose to automatically approve OTPs instead of needing to select the approve button as the IT admin.

OATH time-based one-time password (TOTP) is an open standard that specifies how one-time password (OTP) codes are generated. OATH TOTP can be implemented using either software or hardware to generate the codes. Microsoft Entra ID doesn't support OATH HOTP, a different code generation standard.

Software OATH tokens are typically applications such as the Microsoft Authenticator app and other authenticator apps. Microsoft Entra ID generates the secret key, or seed, that's input into the app and used to generate each OTP.

The Authenticator app automatically generates codes when set up to do push notifications so a user has a backup even if their device doesn't have connectivity. Third-party applications that use OATH TOTP to generate codes can also be used.

Some OATH TOTP hardware tokens are programmable, meaning they don't come with a secret key or seed preprogrammed. These programmable hardware tokens can be set up using the secret key or seed obtained from the software token setup flow. Customers can purchase these tokens from the vendor of their choice and use the secret key or seed in their vendor's setup process.

Microsoft Entra ID supports the use of OATH-TOTP SHA-1 tokens that refresh codes every 30 or 60 seconds. Customers can purchase these tokens from the vendor of their choice. Hardware OATH tokens are available for users with a Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 license.

OATH TOTP hardware tokens typically come with a secret key, or seed, pre-programmed in the token. These keys must be input into Microsoft Entra ID as described in the following steps. Secret keys are limited to 128 characters, which is not compatible with some tokens. The secret key can only contain the characters a-z or A-Z and digits 2-7, and must be encoded in Base32.

Once tokens are acquired, they must be uploaded in a comma-separated values (CSV) file format. The file should include the UPN, serial number, secret key, time interval, manufacturer, and model, as shown in the following example:

Once properly formatted as a CSV file, a Global Administrator can then sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center, navigate to Protection > Multifactor authentication > OATH tokens, and upload the resulting CSV file.

Depending on the size of the CSV file, it can take a few minutes to process. Select the Refresh button to get the current status. If there are any errors in the file, you can download a CSV file that lists any errors for you to resolve. The field names in the downloaded CSV file are different than the uploaded version.

Once any errors are addressed, the administrator then can activate each key by selecting Activate for the token and entering the OTP displayed on the token. You can activate a maximum of 200 OATH tokens every 5 minutes.

Users can have a combination of up to five OATH hardware tokens or authenticator applications, such as the Microsoft Authenticator app, configured for use at any time. Hardware OATH tokens can't be assigned to guest users in the resource tenant.

To determine the error message, be sure and select View Details. The Hardware token status blade opens and provides the summary of the status of the upload. It shows that there's been a failure, or multiple failures, as in the following example:

To determine the cause of the failure listed, make sure to click the checkbox next to the status you want to view, which activates the Download option. This downloads a CSV file that contains the error identified.

Once you've addressed the errors listed, upload the CSV again until it processes successfully. The status information for each attempt remains for 30 days. The CSV can be manually removed by clicking the checkbox next to the status, then selecting Delete status if so desired.

Users can manage and add OATH token registrations by accessing mysecurityinfo or by selecting Security info from My account. Specific icons are used to differentiate whether the OATH token registration is hardware or software based.

A Temporary Access Pass (TAP) is a time-limited passcode that can be configured for single use or multiple. Users can sign in with a TAP to onboard other passwordless authentication methods, such as Microsoft Authenticator, FIDO2 and Windows Hello for Business.

A TAP also makes recovery easier when a user has lost or forgotten their strong authentication factor like a FIDO2 security key or Microsoft Authenticator app, but needs to sign in to register new strong authentication methods.

Although you can create a TAP for any user, only users included in the policy can sign-in with it. Those with at least the Authentication Policy Administrator role can update the TAP authentication method policy.

The most common use for a TAP is for a user to register authentication details during the first sign-in or device setup, without the need to complete extra security prompts. Authentication methods are registered at Users can also update existing authentication methods here.

Users managing their security information at see an entry for the Temporary Access Pass. If a user does not have any other registered methods, they get a banner at the top of the screen that says to add a new sign-in method. Users can also see the TAP expiration time, and delete the TAP if it's no longer needed.

Users with a TAP can navigate the setup process on Windows 10 and 11 to perform device join operations and configure Windows Hello for Business. TAP usage for setting up Windows Hello for Business varies based on the devices joined state.

The token lifetime (session token, refresh token, access token, and so on) obtained by using a TAP login is limited to the TAP lifetime. When a TAP expires, it leads to the expiration of the associated token.

On selecting Get started, you might see a page that has a message stating that the device verification information couldn't be found. For information on how to troubleshoot this error, see Device verification failure and troubleshooting.

On the Account setup page, put in the email and password that is used for the console or device in the Email and Password fields. If you don't know what those are, please contact your IT admin.

The device verification is an automatic process to ensure that the device being deployed is a certified Microsoft Teams Rooms device. However, sometimes the process may fail and you'll see an error message as depicted in the following screenshot:

If you are unable to connect to Wi-Fi or a mobile network on your phone, you can use a one-time password code on the Microsoft Authenticator app to authenticate. Authenticating this way does not require your phone to be connected to a network.

Follow the on-screen instructions to read the QR code on your smartphone. Please note that methods forreading the code, as well as the entry of authentication keys, may differ depending on your choice of app and smartphone operating system.

When launching the app, a 6-digit number will be displayed. This is your one-time password.When logging in, you will now be prompted to enter your username, password, and a one-time passwordgenerated by your app.

If you change, upgrade, or lose your smartphone, or if it becomes inoperable for any reason,you will be unable to log into Square Enix account-related services. In this situation, userscan make use of the Emergency Removal Password feature to remove the Software Authenticatorfrom their account on their own.

Before changing our upgrading your smartphone, the Software Authenticator must be removed from youraccount then re-registered using your new device. To remove the Software Authenticator, log into theSquare Enix Account Management System and proceed to the One-time Password page. At the bottom of the page,select "Software Authenticator (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.)," then followthe on-screen instructions.

I have googled this 10 hours without finding any useful working solutions. I just fresh installed Windows 11. During the installation, it forces me to use Microsoft account and Windows Hello Pin. And some services also require Hello Pin. Thus I can not disable it.

Now, when I try to use remote desktop, there is a problem. I can not connect. I have no ideas what causes the connection failure. I even not sure what my username is. Is Pin the password? I don't have any password actually. Even microsoft acount web login is using one time password sent to my email. Do I need to provide domain infomartion?
