PINACLE Pass® provides a secure, convenient alternative to carrying your physical token. Token passcodes generated with the PINACLE Pass App can be used on the PINACLE® desktop site and the PINACLE Mobile App any time a token passcode is required. Once a system administrator has assigned a mobile token to your Operator ID, you will be able to log in to the PINACLE Pass App to activate your token.
