    You have the following options:

    • Create one time key
      One-time keys can be used by any random device for the onboarding, but cannot be re-used by any other device. Hence, the number of keys must match the number of devices.

      • Quantity: Desired number of passwords to be created.

    • Create mass-deployment key
      Multiple-time keys that can be used by any device for the onboarding and will remain valid after the use.

      • Generate random mass key

        • A random multiple-time password will be generated. (Default)
        • You can enter the desired password yourself. Note that it is not possible to create more than one first-authentication key with the same password.


  5. Click Add to save the key.
