the identity. This password can be used to log in to resources that require
authentication, such as the corporate network, the Captive Portal, or a VPN.

   * - Field
     - Description
   * - Password / Password repeated
     - The password assigned to the identity. It must be at least 8 characters
       long and contain both letters and digits. Re-enter it in the
       **Password repeated** field to confirm.
   * - Yubi token
     - An additional multi-factor authentication (MFA) method. The assigned
       YubiKey can be used wherever an MFA option is available, for example in
       the Captive Portal.

.. note::

   The **Yubi token** field is not available when creating a new identity. 
   To set it, first save the new identity, then open it again for editing. 
   The **Yubi token** field will then be available.


To add more identity details, expand *More options*.

.. note::
   To create **custom fields**, go to *System configuration › Configurators › General system configuration*

4.	Select the ``Save`` button to create the identity.
The new identity appears on the *Identities* list.

.. note:: 
   To discard your changes without creating the identity, select ``Back`` button.
