## What is KyAuth?

KyAuth is the authenticator for KyIdentity. It keeps your sign-in codes on your iPhone or iPad and approves KyIdentity sign-in requests with Face ID or Touch ID. Your codes never leave the device.

SIGN-IN CODES
• Add any account that offers an authenticator app: scan its setup QR code or type its setup key.
• Time-based codes (TOTP) of 6 to 8 digits, with a countdown on each one.
• Search, edit and delete your accounts. A copied code stays on this device and is cleared when it expires.
• Works with any service. No KyIdentity server needed.

SIGN-IN REQUESTS
• Pair KyAuth with your organization's KyIdentity server by scanning its pairing code.
• When you sign in, KyIdentity sends a request to your device. Type the two-digit number your browser shows, then approve with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.
• KyAuth never knows the right number. Only you can read it from the sign-in screen, so a request you did not start cannot be approved by a stray tap.
• Requests name the account and expire within minutes.

SIGN IN TO OTHER APPS
• Apps from the same developer can sign you in through KyAuth: switch to KyAuth, confirm, and you are returned to the app, already signed in.

PRIVATE AND SECURE BY DESIGN
• Your codes are encrypted on this device and are never backed up, synced or sent anywhere.
• Your device key lives in the Secure Enclave. Every approval and every unlock asks for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.
• KyAuth locks the moment you leave it, and after an auto-lock time you choose.
• Add an optional PIN after Face ID or Touch ID. Five wrong PINs erase KyAuth's data on the device.
• The app switcher and screen recordings show a cover instead of your codes.
• No accounts with us, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.

PLEASE NOTE
• Sign-in requests and signing in to other apps need a KyIdentity server, which your organization runs. Sign-in codes work with any service.
• Because codes are never backed up, keep your recovery codes for each account somewhere safe. If you lose your device, you will need them.
• Your device must have a passcode set.
