Stored static password

The user account has a Stored Static Password field. If back-end authentication is used, this field can be used to do the following:

  • Store the static password required for back-end authentication. This means that the user does not need to type the static password at each logon, but only needs to type the OTP. OneSpan Authentication Server can retrieve the stored static password from the user account and use it for back-end authentication.
  • Support password replacement. Back-end authentication is used to learn the static password so that it can be replayed to the host system (e.g. Outlook Web Access) when a successful OTP is given.
