It turns out that a ‘CryptoCard’, something used to access one’s company network in conjunction with a unique password and a 6 digit code it displays, can get out of sync with the office server. How? One scenario can be that the button gets pushed repeatedly, say 20 or so times, in a matter of moments. And I know this because….? Because after two days of not being able to use the card, I finally contacted the IT team, walked through the reset process, and had them convey this tidbit to me. Which in turn reminded me of its brief disappearance in one of my kid’s hands over the weekend, for apparently just long enough to push the button repeatedly, say 20 times or more….. you get the picture.
Tip: Kids and CryptoCards don’t play well together.
