Step 3: Link your account

Next, we'll link BMO Passcode to your Online Banking for Business profile. This will ensure that only this computer can generate passcodes for your account. To do this, we’ll use a unique key file.
 

1. On the setup screen, select the Download Your Key File button. 
   
   
    
2. Open the BMO Passcode software you installed in Step 2.
   Note: If you see a standard security message, select Open.
   
    
3. In the BMO Passcode software, click Select Installation File.
   Note: If you already have another key installed, first select the + icon in the bottom-right corner.
   
   
   
   
    
4. Select the key file you just downloaded and click Open.
   
    
5. Give your key a nickname. This can be anything you want. 
   
   
    

6. Check your inbox for an email labelled “[PROTECT] BMO Passcode Setup: Import Password”. Because this email contains sensitive information, it will contain a link to the secure BMO Message Center, where you can read it in full. Once you've signed in to the BMO Message Center, copy the password.  
   
   

7. Back in the BMO Passcode software, paste the password into the “Import Password” field.
   
   
    
8. Select Continue in the software.
    

Success! Your BMO Passcode on this computer is now linked to your Online Banking for Business account. You can safely delete the key file from your computer.
