Defender Soft Token - Android token & authentication

About Defender Soft Token

Defender Soft Token is the official Android app from One Identity LLC for enterprise two-factor authentication. If you need to access a business network or corporate resources with two-factor authentication but do not want to carry a separate hardware token, Defender Soft Token turns your Android phone into a software token.

Used together with One Identity Defender, the app generates a one-time password, or OTP, so you can authenticate to resources protected by Defender. It supports activation by code or QR code and can enable push authentication on compatible deployments.

Key points for user trust:

• Android two-factor authentication app for business and enterprise users.
• Works with One Identity Defender and Active Directory-centric 2FA.
• Generates OTP / token response for corporate login.
• Supports activation code or QR code import.
• Can enable push notification approval where the Defender backend supports it.
• No data shared with third parties; no data collected, per the Google Play data safety declaration.

Defender Soft Token is not a standalone consumer authenticator. Your organization must use One Identity Defender. To obtain Defender, contact sales@oneidentity.com or visit the official Defender product page.

How to Set Up and Use Defender Soft Token

Install Defender Soft Token from Google Play, then activate it with an activation code from your administrator or your organization’s Defender Self-Service Portal.

1. Install

Open Google Play on your Android device, search for Defender Soft Token, select the app by One Identity LLC, and tap Install.

2. Get an activation code

Get the code from your system administrator, or use the Defender Self-Service Portal if your organization provides one. In the portal, sign in, choose Request a software token, and follow the prompts.

3. Activate the token

Open Defender Soft Token and tap Enter Activation Code or Scan QR code.

Enter Activation Code: type or paste the code provided by your admin.

Scan QR code: scan the QR code sent in the activation email.

Activating the soft token can also enable push notifications on compatible devices.

4. Create or switch tokens

Tap the menu icon in the top-right corner, then New Token. Name the token and complete activation. This helps if you manage more than one Defender token.

5. Authenticate with OTP

Open Defender Soft Token. The numeric value shown is your token response or one-time password. Enter it where Defender protects access. Tap refresh to show the next response if needed.

6. Authenticate with push

Where push is enabled, type push in the token field and submit. Your Android device receives an Approve or Deny prompt.

Note: push notifications work for newly programmed iOS or Android tokens using Defender 6.1.0 and above.

7. Rename, view, or delete a token

Press and hold the token, then choose Rename, Token Details, or Delete. Deleting a token also removes the push notification tied to it.

8. Uninstall

In Google Play, open Defender Soft Token and tap Uninstall. Uninstalling disables the push notification feature for that token.
