I'm using two-factor authentication based on Google Authenticator and I need to connect the hardware tokens to this system. The problem is that I can’t use standard OTP tokens with the built in secret keys. The 2FA system generates the secret keys itself and there is no possibility to add the extraneous secret key of the hardware token in it. How can I move Google Authenticator secret key to a hardware token?

Have a look at the reflashed tokens Protectimus Slim mini. These tokens support NFC technology and with the help of a special app you can change their secret keys. This app also reveals all characteristics of the token and gives an opportunity to adjust the OTP-passwords’ lifetime.
