  5. In the One-Time Passcode Settings section, set any of the following configurations that apply to the SecureAuth Authenticate mobile app and the SecureAuth Passcode desktop app.

    Passcode length

    Set the length of the passcode in the SecureAuth Authenticate app at six, eight, or nine digits.

    Passcode change interval

    Set how often in seconds, the passcode updates in the SecureAuth Authenticate app.

    Passcode offset

    To make up for time differences between devices and to enable prolonged validity after the code is no longer displayed, set the tolerance in minutes for the amount of time a passcode can be out of sync.
