WG9011 - WatchGuard AuthPoint Hardware Token (10 Units Box)
Description
Description
The WatchGuard AuthPoint Hardware Token (WG9011) is a physical one-time password (OTP) token that delivers secure multi-factor authentication (MFA) without needing a smartphone. Supplied as a box of 10 units, the WG9011 generates a unique OTP every 30 seconds and is managed from WatchGuard Cloud using the same zero trust policies that apply to every AuthPoint authentication method.
Not every user carries a mobile device. Factory floors, secure facilities and shared workstations need MFA too, and these hardware tokens provide an additional source of protection for businesses when mobile device use is limited or restricted.
Key Features
- Generates a unique OTP every 30 seconds - no smartphone or app required
- Token seeds are never exposed - created in an isolated network and transferred directly to the cloud, with no human access, no export and no exposure
- WatchGuard designs and manufactures its own tokens, adding an extra layer of supply chain security
- Managed from WatchGuard Cloud with the same zero trust policies as every AuthPoint method - access can be controlled by device, location, time and risk
- Supports the OATH TOTP standard (RFC 6238), and AuthPoint also supports third-party OATH TOTP-compliant tokens
- Compatible with Microsoft Entra ID External MFA, so users without a smartphone can protect Microsoft 365 and Azure services
- WatchGuard hardware tokens are automatically associated with your account, so no seed file is needed
- Compact device: 64 x 40 x 12 mm and 18 g, with tamper-evident ultrasonic sealing of the enclosure
- 7+ year life expectancy when in constant use, with a 3-year warranty that starts when the token is first assigned to a user
- Certifications include RoHS, FCC, CE and KCC
Ideal for: IT teams, MSPs and organisations needing MFA for users who cannot or do not want to use a mobile device - such as factory and warehouse staff, healthcare workers in sterile environments, employees in secure facilities where phones are restricted, and shared workstation environments.
Compatible Products
The WG9011 works with WatchGuard AuthPoint MFA and AuthPoint Total Identity Security (managed through WatchGuard Cloud). Please note that WatchGuard hardware tokens can only be used with AuthPoint MFA and cannot be used with third-party MFA services.
FAQs
What are AuthPoint hardware tokens?
They are physical devices that generate a unique one-time password (OTP) every 30 seconds. They are an authentication method within AuthPoint MFA, managed from WatchGuard Cloud.
When should I use hardware tokens instead of the mobile app?
Hardware tokens suit users who cannot carry a smartphone, such as factory and warehouse workers, healthcare staff in sterile environments, employees in secure facilities where phones are restricted, and shared workstation environments.
Do hardware tokens work with Microsoft Entra ID External MFA?
Yes. Hardware token OTP is a supported authentication method for AuthPoint as an External MFA provider for Microsoft Entra ID, so users without a smartphone can still meet MFA requirements for Microsoft 365 and Azure services.
How are AuthPoint hardware tokens sold?
AuthPoint hardware tokens are sold in sets of 10, which is the quantity supplied in the WG9011 box.
Can I use third-party hardware tokens with AuthPoint?
Yes. AuthPoint supports any hardware token that complies with OATH TOTP standards, so you can use WatchGuard tokens or bring your own hardware.
