Using my.ironkey.com (Windows OnlY)
NOTE: Depending on how your System Administrator has configured your IronKey, you many not have an online IronKey account, and this section may not apply to you.
Your IronKey supports advanced cryptographic authentication using strong PKI key pairs gen- erated in the IronKey Cryptochip. When you log into my.ironkey.com from your device, it uses these unique keys as your digital identity credentials.This locks down your account so that you must have both your IronKey and your password in order to gain access. In other words, only you can access your online IronKey account, even if someone stole your IronKey or your pass- word.
