PUK CodeClosed (Print User Key). In Watchdoc, this is a code (associated with a user account but used alone) sufficient 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 CodeClosed The PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a code with at least 4 digits. It is used, for example, on a cell phone or smartphone equipped with a SIM card. In Watchhdoc, it is a code which, combined with the user name, constitutes a means of authentication on a WES. Deduced from the AD, the user can consult it in his My Account page. It is stored either in a SQL table or in a Json file, and can be stored as is or secured by hashing. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) authentication
