Set up your Phone as your Backup Token	If your admin allows you to have more than one token registered to your profile, download the GateKeeper Android or iOS app (Trident) to use your phone as your token to login, same as your GateKeeper token.
Login with your Original Windows/Mac Password	If your admin allows you to use your Windows or Mac password as a backup login, simply type in your original password to login as you normally would without your token.
