What is a token code and how do I obtain it?

A token code is a six-digit number that will allow you to log into your Bloomberg Anywhere application on your mobile device.

For older B-Units (B-Unit or B-Unit 2): Press and hold the power button on your B-Unit until ‘Token Mode’ is displayed and release the power button immediately or the B-Unit will go into reset mode. Place your finger and type the six-digit code provided into your mobile device.

For B-Unit 3: Press the power button shortly to turn on the device and swipe your finger across the sensor when asked to “Swipe to verify”. After successful authentication, the token code will be displayed on the screen above the progress bar. Type the six-digit code provided into your mobile device.

Alternatively, you can visit MOBI on the Bloomberg Professional terminal, select Option 30 and click on “Generate a B-Unit token” at the bottom right hand side to generate a token to login on your mobile device. The token needs to be used once to login within 24 hours but is valid like a token from the B-Unit once it is successfully used to login.
