Part 1 of 2 - Installing Entrust IdentityGuard Soft Token application

1. Download the Entrust IdentityGuard App through the mobile app store on your mobile device.

For Windows / Mac Desktop use the following URL: https://www.entrust.com/mobile/info/all-downloads.htm

PLEASE NOTE: You can also access the mobile app using the same link as the Windows Desktop link if the Mobile app store is unavailable.

2. Download and install Entrust IdentityGuard for Mobile or Soft Token application. Select the link that corresponds to your device. The Apple link takes you to the App Store to download the application. The Android , BlackBerry, Java Phone and Windows Mobile links download the application directly to your mobile device without redirecting you to an app store.

Note : On the BlackBerry, during the download, you may be asked whether you want to grant the app 'Trusted Application Status' or individual permissions. If you are asked to grant Trusted Application Status, answer Yes to allow the app to run as intended. If you are asked for individual permissions, answer Yes to the following permissions:

- Phone
- Internet
- Device Settings
- Media
