Yes, the technology used for digital tokens has been thoroughly tested and the tests did not find any vulnerabilities. For added security, the token is protected by Touch ID or a 6-digit PIN on devices that do not support Touch ID. The digital token is also restricted to only one device at a time. This means that if you install digital token on another device, the one on the original device gets deactivated.

While digital token is secure, as a good security practice please make sure that you do not disclose your login credentials with others.

Simply delete and re-install the IDEAL Mobile app.
