## Description

Nexus TruID is a robust client application designed to generate One-Time Passwords (OTP) to provide enhanced security for mission-critical organizational systems like sales and email platforms. It supports multiple profiles and offers two modes: synchronized mode, where an OTP is generated after entering a PIN, and challenge mode, which requires a challenge code provided by the TruID server alongside the PIN.

This extension requires the PortWise Authentication Server that supports the RADIUS protocol and offers web service APIs for seamless integration with other applications needing strong authentication. Activation can be performed online using a one-time activation key sent via email or SMS, or manually by inputting a seed value, making it versatile for different organizational needs.
