Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing the use, in a terminal, of a plurality of security modules (SIM1, SIM2) managed by an entity (STK) capable of requiring the provision of security codes in order to unlock the modules. The method is characterized in that it comprises: a first phase of accessing the modules (PH1), including a step of receiving (ET13-1, ET13-2), by the entity, codes of the modules, a step of transmitting (ET14-1, ET14-2) the received codes to the security modules, followed by a step of storing (ET16), in a security module referred to as the main module, at least one code received by the entity relative to a module (SIM2) other than the main module; and a second subsequent access phase during which the unlocking of the main module is followed by a step of transmitting at least one code from the main module to at least one other security module (SIM2) corresponding to said at least one code.
