| TIS and CryptoCard authentication are simple challenge/response forms of authentication available in SSH protocol version 1 only. You might use them if you were using S/Key one-time passwords, for example, or if you had a physical security token that generated responses to authentication challenges. | TIS and CryptoCard authentication are simple challenge/response forms of authentication available in SSH protocol version 1 only.

| - | With this switch enabled, WinSCP will attempt these forms of authentication if the server is willing to try them. You will be [[ui_password#keyboard_interactive|presented with a challenge string]] (which will be different every time) and must supply the correct response in order to log in. If your server supports this, you should talk to your system administrator about precisely what form these challenges and responses take.

| - | The SSH-2 equivalent of TIS authentication is called 'keyboard-interactive'. It is a flexible authentication method using an arbitrary sequence of [[ui_password#keyboard_interactive|requests and responses]]; so it is not only useful for challenge/response mechanisms such as S/Key, but it can also be used for (for example) asking the user for a new password when the old one has expired.

| WinSCP leaves this option enabled by default, but supplies a switch to turn it off in case you should have trouble with it. If your servers uses keyboard-interactive authentication to ask for your password only, and you wish to allow WinSCP to reply with password entered on //[[ui_login_session|Session tab]]//, tick //Respond with password to the first prompt//. | WinSCP leaves this option enabled by default, but supplies a switch to turn it off in case you should have trouble with it.
