Setup Requirements

Lyve Mobile security

Lyve Mobile offers two ways for project admins to manage how end users securely access Lyve Mobile storage devices:

Lyve Portal Identity-End users authorize client computers to access Lyve Mobile devices using their Lyve Management Portal credentials. Requires an internet connection for initial setup and periodic reauthorization through Lyve Management Portal.

Lyve Token Security-End users are provided with Lyve Token files that can be installed on certified client computers and Lyve Mobile Padlock devices. Once configured, computers/Padlock devices unlocking Lyve Mobile devices do not require continual access to Lyve Management Portal or the internet.
