## What is ESET Secure Authentication?

NOTE: Before installing ESET Secure Authentication, please note that the product requires server-side installation. This is a companion app and will not work independently. Contact your company‘s network administrator to receive your enrollment link.


ESET Secure Authentication is an easy-to-install, deploy, and manage, multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution for businesses. The additional factor—received or generated by the mobile app—complements and strengthens the standard authentication process and secures access to your company’s systems and data.

The ESET Secure Authentication app allows you to:
- Receive push notifications on your device that you can approve to complete authentication
- Generate one-time passwords to use alongside your username and password
- Add a new account simply by scanning a QR code


Supported integrations:
- Microsoft Web Apps
- Local Windows logins
- Remote Desktop Protocol
- VPNs
- Cloud services via AD FS
- Mac/Linux
- Custom apps


Multi-factor authentication is a combination of two or more security factors—“something the user knows” (e.g., a password), “something the user has” (such as a mobile phone to generate a one-time password or receive a push notification), and even “something the user is” (when approving push notifications via biometrics).

### 1/5 — They will take your money and do nothing and I mean nothing

*2026-01-17*

I paid them. They sent me one email. The links never worked and I never heard back from him and they just took my money. That’s it a whole year that I paid for a year and they took all of it antivirus VPN home. They haven’t done anything well over $100 wasted on this app.

### 3/5 — No accepting via Apple Watch

*2025-11-13*

The app works fine and does what it should do. But one thing annoys me. A few month back I was able besides the mobile app also accept a request via Apple Watch. But for some it had been updated and now I only can reject a request. Why? It was so convenient to check-in at work with my watch. Please bring back accepting on smart watch. Thank you in advance ❤️

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you very much for your feedback and suggestion.

### 2/5 — Buttons changed?!

*2025-11-04*

Why did you changed the Buttons? I can’t do a one tap on my watch because the decline button is now on top. I have to scroll down before.

**Developer response:** Hello, apologies for the issue and thank you for your feedback.

### 4/5 — 4/5

*2025-10-30, version 4.1.51*

Konecne update po viac ako roku pushovania 🥲 Extremne chybajuca vec premenovania tokenov bola pridana. Este si prosim moznost presuvania poradia. Char limit na nazvy tokenov je mozno nedostatocny, nie som si isty. Dikes:)

### 1/5 — Buggy und instabil

*2025-10-30*

Es ist und bleibt eine Schrott-Software! Nach dem Update ist plötzlich Face-ID deaktiviert und die App verlangt eine PIN, die ich irgendwann vor Jahren mal festgelegt und nie mehr gebraucht habe, weil ich ja immer Face-ID nutzen konnte. Damit war von jetzt auf gleich überraschend kein Login mehr in mein VPN möglich, weil ich die App dann nur noch zurücksetzen konnte! Und nach dem Zurücksetzen geht’s direkt mit Fehlermeldungen wie: „Fehler beim Erstellen des Speichers“ weiter. Also einmal komplett deinstallieren und neu installieren. Und mehrere Accounts neu einrichten. :-( „Diesem Standort vertrauen“ wird - wie schon bei der letzten Version - jeden Tag neu abgefragt.

**Developer response:** Hello mchris89, apologies for the issue. Can you please contact us at: play@eset.com so we can investigate the issue? Thank you!

### 2/5 — Endlosschleife bei der Code Generierung

*2025-08-18*

Wie schon einige geschrieben haben generieren sich auch bei mir endlos neue Zahlencodes, außer wenn ich die App ganz beende und neu starte. (Face ID zu. Unlock)

**Developer response:** Hello Baschi-K, apologies for the issue. Can you please contact us at: play@eset.com so we can investigate the issue? Thank you!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2025-05-19*

Seit ca 2 Tagen bekomme ich keine Benachrichtigungen mehr. Ich habe sonst alle Fehlerquellen ausgeschlossen.

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry for the problems, can you please send us a support request via http://www.eset.com/int/support/contact/ and describe the problem in more detail? We will do our best to resolve it and would be grateful if you would update the app review later. Thank you very much!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-04-22, version 3.1.9.0*

We have been using this application for a long time, however the last update is tragic. 

Push notifications for 2FA don’t get send to my iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 18.4. and I cannot log to my company’s VPN.

### 4/5 — Bien

*2025-03-16, version 3.1.5.0*

.

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2024-11-08*

Having only just started using this is an initial review.  It looks promising but there are some improvements that could be made to give it the polish it needs.
Eg.  Watch integration.  I get notified of authentication attempt but only get the option to reject.   Not accept the connection
Also when approving the the app closes out without saying success - it looks like it crashes but it actually works
There also was no explanation for allow once and allow ip.  Doing allow once did as expected but the going allow it still prompts each time but I don’t get the allow once prompt.  I want users to approve prompt every time so this is good.  But just doesn’t seem polished like watchguard AuthPoint, Microsoft MFA or even Duo
Hoping once cloud is released to wider audience more focus is put on this as it has a lot of promis
