About a year ago, we released Token2 Molto-1, the world’s first programmable multi-profile hardware token.

While Molto-1 is still the only solution of its kind currently available on the market, we will be soon releasing a new variation of a multi-profile hardware token, in a different form-factor and with a different set of features available.

Molto2

While Molto-1 has its advantages, there were some shortcomings that we wanted to address, for example, it can only hold up to ten TOTP profiles, which is not enough for many users. Also, using NFC to program the device does not look very convenient for some users. There were also requests to have a backlight for the screen of the token, so it can be used in the dark. With Molto-2 we tried to address this and a few other concerns. So, we hereby present our new device model, Token2 Molto-2 with the following specifications:

TOKEN2 MOLTO-2 multi-profile programmable TOTP hardware token:

▣ RFC 6238 compliant

▣ supports up to 50 accounts/profiles

▣ USB-programmable with a Windows app

▣ RTC battery life: 8 years

▣ LCD screen battery: 3–4 months (rechargeable)

▣ Designed and engineered in Switzerland

Specifications

Dimensions 74x53x12.9 mm
TOTP Profiles 50
Programmable via USB, Windows app
Time sync Yes
Time step 30 or 60 seconds
Configuration Password protected — password can be changed
OTP Length 6, 8 or 10 digits
OTP Entry Manual, HID-emulation[1] or by scanning QR code[2]

[1]: The device can send the OTP over USB thanks to HID emulation function built-in. This will allow minimizing the user actions needed to authenticate with any 2FA-enabled system.
[2]: The devices showing the OTP as QR code have the most potential of greatly improving user experience, especially with custom apps if QR scanning in implemented.

Update 6-Nov-20 : Available to order now
