Product overview

1

Welcome to the DIGIPASS FX7 User Manual! DIGIPASS FX7 is a phishing-resistant authenticator that works out-of-the-box with nearly 1,000 of FIDO2­enabled services.
The FIDO Alliance develops standards for passwordless authentication. With FIDO (Fast IDentity Online), user authentication does not rely on static passwords or onetime passwords. Instead, users are authenticated via biometrics and FIDO­compliant authenticators.
The DIGIPASS FX7 authenticator works in connected mode via USB-C.

1.2 PIN protection
The DIGIPASS FX7 authenticator performs user verification by PIN. Since the DIGIPASS FX7 authenticator has no keypad, the PIN is entered on the device to which the authenticator is connected (typically a computer or a mobile device). The PIN is composed of alphanumeric characters and must comply with the following rules:
l Minimum length: 4 decimal digits or 4 characters l Maximum length: 63 bytes in UTF-8 representation. This corresponds to 63 char-
acters if only standard ASCII characters are used, but corresponds to fewer characters if special characters are used (e.g. accented, Chinese,…).
NOTE: After 3 consecutive incorrect PIN attempts, the authenticator must be
removed from the USB port and re-inserted.
CAUTION: After a total of 8 consecutive incorrect PIN attempts, the authenticator is
locked. The authenticator must be reset, which effectively removes all data (credentials, accounts, PIN) and reverts the authenticator to factory settings.
