FFXI Mog Satchel - Registering your Security Token

Here is a run down of the procedures you must follow in order to successfully register your FFXI Security Token so you can log in with your new one-use passwords and enable your Mog Satchel.
  1. Open the box and navigate to the internet address provided.
  2. Create an account and log in. (Accept the usage agreement.)
  3. Enter your email address.
  4. A verification email is sent to the address you entered.
  5. Click the URL provided in the verification email.
  6. Enter your desired ID. (Check for availability.)
  7. Enter a password. (Enter in the password confirmation.)
  8. Enter your birthday.
  9. Select a security question. (Just in case you lose or forget your password.)
  10. Enter the answer to your security question.
  11. Confirm the data and submit.
  12. Login using the account you just created.
  13. Select the Security Expansion. (Click next.)
  14. Select the Security Token Registration. (Click next.)
  15. Accept the terms. (Click next.)
  16. Enter the seriel number located on the back of your Security Token.
  17. Press the red button on your Security Token to display a one-use password.
  18. Enter the six digit code displayed on the device. (Click next.)
  19. Complete the Registration.
Well, that wasn’t so bad, was it? But wait! You aren’t done! Now that you’ve registered your Security Token, you’ve got to add it to your PlayOnline account! I know, right? But don’t worry, this is pretty quick and easy too.
  1. On the left of the screen, click Link Settings.
  2. Select “Add a link” (Click next.)
  3. Select PlayOnline. (Note: trial accounts cannot be linked.)
  4. Select PlayOnline Info. (Click next.)
  5. Confirm your account.
  6. Confirm Add.
  7. Open PlayOnline.
  8. Edit login settings to include “One time password”
Congratulations! You have now added the Security Token to your FFXI account. You will now be required to enter two passwords each time you log in. The first password will be the one that you created in the registration portion of this guide. The second password will be generated by pressing the red button on your Security Token device. “One time password” does not indicate that you will only enter the password once, but instead that each password the device generates will only be good for one use. You will still be required to enter in a new password in this field each time you log in.
