My A-Key™ Use Cases

Secure, Automated Web Access

 
   

Secured Web Credentials That Can Be Used Anywhere

 

Nearly everyone has information that they use on a near daily basis, such as bank account numbers, bank web site access credentials, social security numbers, VPN credentials, etc. With the addition of My A-Key™ software, the A-Key® 3200, 4000 or 4500 token becomes the secure, portable data repository that many have been asking for.

For example, it is not uncommon for someone to need to keep track of five different web sites he regularly uses for work, personal email, two bank accounts, postage on line, Amazon.com, EBay, Netflix, etc. He could use My A-Key™ software to securely store and use all the access and account information on the A-Key® token. This could easily be 15 Web URLS, passwords to several important applications used at work, his checking account number and other information. In doing so, this person knows that his encrypted information is secure and won’t be accessible, even if his token is lost or stolen, because the token is password protected and self erase will keep all his data from unauthorized eyes. When he travels, he can securely access web sites from a kiosk or Internet café, because My A-Key™ software has his back. Without his fingers ever touching the keyboard, My A-Key™ software will log him into his secure web sites, thus frustrating any key logger that lurks on the machine.

   

Automatically Launching Your Web Site, to Keep Your Company Fresh in People's Minds

 

My A-Key software can be pre-loaded onto the A-Key 2300, 3500, 4000 or 4500 token and configured at the factory to automatically access any web site you want when the token is inserted into the USB port of a computer. This provides a great marketing opportunity.

For example, a bank could use My A-Key on the A-Key 4000 token to not only promote secure use of on line banking, but also to promote how seriously the bank takes the security of its customers. In such a case, the bank would order a number of A-Key 4000 tokens with My A-Key software pre-installed and configured to automatically launch the company's web site when the token is inserted into a USB port.

In such a case, the first time a customer used the token, he would insert it into his USB port, Internet Explorer would launch and the user would navigate to the page where he accesses his account. He then enters his access credentials and logs in. My A-Key software would save that information in the encrypted storage of the token. Every time thereafter the user wants to access the site he plugs in his token and navigates to the log in page. My A-Key will log him in automatically. The user gets the security and convenience of My A-Key, the security of the A-Key 4000 token, and the bank communicates to their customer that it takes both its and the customer's security seriously enough to provide this product. The bank is also kept fresh in the customer's mind, because every time he plugs the token in, Internet Explorer launches that bank's web page.
