A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module generating a temporary public-private key pair, a restricted use certificate, and a temporary password for a device. The method continues with the DS processing encoding a temporary private key to produce a set of encoded private key shares and encoding the restricted use certificate to produce a set of encoded certificate shares. The method continues with the DS processing module outputting the set of encoded private key shares and the set of encoded certificate shares to a set of authentication units. The method continues with the DS processing module outputting the temporary password to the device such that, when the device retrieves the set of encoded private key shares and the set of encoded certificate shares, the device is able to recapture the temporary private key and the restricted use certificate for accessing a dispersed storage network (DSN).
