For testing your connection on the SURFsecureID Production or Pilot Gateway you should use use an eduID account instead of one of your regular IdP's accounts.
The second factor authentication tokens that you register in Test , Pilot or Production are separate. You can use the same token and eduID account for Test , Pilot and Production, but you need to do the token registration procedure for each environment that you wish to use.
| Warning |
|---|
If you use your Yubikey with the production environment, you must not use it for any other purpose, including using it with SURFsecureID Pilot or Test. Reusing your production Yubikey is a security risk because Yubikey OTP codes are not tied to the environment. |

Registration procedure
We use the same software in test as in production, and thus need to follow most of the procedural steps. For practical purposes we skip the face to face part of the process. We do however need you to perform an authentication with the token to be activated. This is why we ask you to make an appointment so you can perform the authentication once we initiate the activation of your token from our side.
