Great additional layer of security to your org's ecosystem

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Moving from RSA to PindID was a great move. We can have up to three devices configured for the same login. This makes it easier to use. It adds one more layer of security between SSO login and application. Login via your credentials, a pop-up will be delivered on your phone. Accept it and it automatically takes you to the desired page/application.

Pros

  • Instant Notification
  • Option to manually write code if the notification fails
