PUK Code (Print User Key). In Watchdoc, this is a code associated with a user account to allow the user to authenticate in a WES. The PUK code is generated thanks to an algorithm. The user can consult it in the "My account" page of Watchdoc. For security reasons, we advise against using the PUK code and recommend using a login (user account)/PIN code. authentication	✔	✔	✔

PIN Code PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a code comprising of at least four digits. It is used, for example, on a mobile or smartphone with a SIM card.

Card enrolment Action when a user account is assigned to a badge number belonging to them. Enrolment takes place when a badge is used for the first time. Enrolment may be performed by the IT services manager when they issue a badge to a user or by the user themselves by entering their ID (PIN, PUK or ID and password) which is then assigned to their badge number. Once enrolment is complete, the badge number is definitively assigned to their owner. using:
