About software tokens

You might need a software token to log in to a VPN. A software token includes a token code that your BlackBerry smartphone regenerates periodically and a PIN. If you use a software token to log in to a VPN, the software token must be on your smartphone and the software token information that appears in the VPN profile must be correct. For more information about software tokens, contact your administrator.
