Making a backup
Every QR Code that is displayed in your appli-
cation for you to create a TOTP account in the
REINER SCT Authenticator contains a secret
electronic key. The TOTP code is created indivi-
dually for your account based on this key.
In order to save this key as an emergency
backup, we recommend you to save this QR
Code encrypted as a graphic file or to print it
on paper and file it in a safe place.
Files and folders can easily be encrypted with
standard Windows, macOS and Linux tools.

If you have only created one account in the

for the account is displayed immediately.

If you have created several accounts in the
REINER SCT Authenticator, switch on the device

Using PIN protection
An important and exclusive security function
of the REINER SCT Authenticator is the PIN
protection. If the PIN protection is activated,
the REINER SCT Authenticator can only be
used after entering the PIN. This effectively
protects the REINER SCT Authenticator against
unauthorised use.
Important note:
When you activate the PIN
protection, make sure that you remember the
entered PIN! You can no longer use the REINER
SCT Authenticator if you forget the PIN! For
security reasons, the forgotten PIN cannot be
recovered, not even by REINER SCT.
If the wrong PIN is entered five times, the
REINER SCT Authenticator resets to factory
settings and all keys, accounts and the PIN are
deleted. The REINER SCT Authenticator is then
in the initial state as if it were a new device.
