SECUI Bluemax NGF supports multiple authentication methods:

• Local S/KEY Uses a one-time password (OTP) generated with the S/KEY algorithm. Passwords change each time you log in, making it more secure.
• Local + OTP (Email) Users enter their credentials, then confirm with a code sent to their email.
• Local + OTP (Mobile) Similar to the email OTP method, but the code is sent via SMS to the user’s phone.

For a basic login using a local username and password, select Local ID/PW.
