How Do I Activate Konami OTP?

To activate the Konami One-Time Password (OTP) service, you must first have a Konami ID. Then, download the official KONAMI OTP Token application from your device's app store, register your mobile device, purchase usage rights within the app, and finally, activate the service using an activation password sent to your registered email.

Step 1: Create a Konami ID

If you do not already have one, a Konami ID is the foundation for using any Konami service, including the OTP.

1. Navigate to the My Konami website and click the "Register" button.
2. Fill in your personal information and create a password for your Konami ID.
3. Konami will send a confirmation code to the email address you provided. Enter this code to complete your ID registration.

Step 2: Download the KONAMI OTP Token application

The Konami OTP service requires a dedicated app to generate the one-time passwords.

1. Go to the app store on your mobile device (e.g., Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS).
2. Search for the "KONAMI OTP Token" application and download it.
3. Install the application on your device.

Step 3: Register your device and purchase usage rights

1. Open the newly installed KONAMI OTP Token application.
2. Log in with your Konami ID and password. The app will check if you have an active license for the OTP service.
3. If your usage rights have expired or if this is your first time using the service, you will be prompted to purchase a license. Follow the in-app instructions to complete the purchase.

Step 4: Complete device registration and get the activation password

1. After confirming your usage rights, proceed with the device registration process within the app's settings menu.
2. During this process, Konami will send an "activation password" to the email address associated with your Konami ID.
3. Check your email for this password.

Step 5: Activate the OTP service

1. Return to the KONAMI OTP Token app on your device.
2. Go to the settings menu and tap on "Activation".
3. Enter the activation password that was sent to your email and tap "Activate".
4. Once the activation is successful, the app will begin to display the one-time passwords. The activation password is no longer needed after this step.

How to use your activated Konami OTP

After activation, you can use the Konami OTP to log in to Konami services, including account data transfers for games like eFootball or Yu-Gi-Oh!.

To generate an OTP:

1. Open the KONAMI OTP Token application.
2. Tap the "Password generation" button.
3. The app will display a one-time password that is valid for 30 seconds. A gauge will show the remaining time.

To log in with an OTP:

1. On the Konami service login screen, enter your Konami ID and your main password as usual.
2. When prompted for the OTP, open the KONAMI OTP Token app on your mobile device.
3. Enter the 6-digit OTP displayed on the app into the login field.

Key features and important considerations

• Synchronization: The OTP system relies on time synchronization between your device and Konami's server. To avoid issues, refrain from generating multiple passwords repeatedly without authenticating.
• Device limitation: Only one device can be registered for the software token with a single Konami ID at a time. If you switch devices, you will need to transfer the OTP registration to the new one.
• Usage rights: The OTP service is not free and requires you to purchase "usage rights" for a specified period to keep your token active.
• Security: The OTP adds a crucial layer of security, making it significantly harder for unauthorized users to access your account, even if they have your main password.
