This article describes how to enable Nexus OTP in Nexus Hybrid Access Gateway as two-factor authentication method for SafeInspect, to replace static passwords.

Nexus OTP can be either Nexus TruID Synchronized or Nexus Personal Mobile OTP, or any other OATH-based mobile OTP application, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. 

With the setup described in this article, Nexus Hybrid Access Gateway functions as a RADIUS server and SafeInspect as a RADIUS client. Nexus TruID is used as an example below and is available for iOS, Android, and Windows.
