## What is VIP Access for iPad?

Symantec VIP Access helps protect your online accounts and transactions by using a strong authentication process when you sign in to your VIP-enabled accounts.
        
•        Strong authentication: Provides strong, two-factor authentication when logging into your VIP-enabled accounts. 
•        QR/App Code: Scan a QR Code to generate site-specific security codes for strong two-factor authentication to your favorite websites.

Use VIP Access at participating organizations such as eBay, PayPal, E*TRADE, Facebook, Google, or any one of the hundreds of sites within the VIP Network: :

Features 

Strong Authentication

VIP Access adds strong authentication to your normal login in one of the following ways: 
•        Dynamically generate a one-time use security code on your mobile device. Use that code along with your username and password.
•        Receive a push notification on your mobile device that you approve as authentication. If your organization requires you to define an additional device authentication mechanism to meet the security requirements, you will be prompted for the additional local authentication such as passphrases or biometrics.
•        Use Touch ID, Face ID, or Passcode in a push notification to authenticate yourself on your mobile device.
Note: Touch ID or Face ID authentication requires that your mobile device is Touch ID or Face ID capable and that you have registered a fingerprint or facial recognition authentication on the device.

The strong authentication method you use depends on the method implemented by your participating organization.

You can generate a security code even if you do not have a network or mobile connection.

QR/App Codes

Scan a QR Code at participating organizations such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, and more to generate a security code every 30 seconds to securely sign in. Enter this security code along with your password to add strong authentication to your favorite websites.

### 3/5 — v4.2.10 Fixes Registration Issue

*2026-03-05, version 4.2.10*

The issue where registering your soft token with VIP Self Service Portal causes a 3101 error appears to be resolved.  The iPad version of the app can now operate as well as the iPhone version does!

However, there is one thing I would like to ask as an enhancement; now that iPadOS 26 supports free-form application windows, it would be great if VIP Access for iPad can be made resizable to arbitrary sizes, even to sizes for the iPhone, so that you can use the app amongst others on your display(s) without consuming so much screen space.  This allows the tool to continue to be useful without getting in the way of all your other work.

Thank you for the update!

### 1/5 — Error 3101. Worst app, worst support

*2026-02-16, version 4.2.9*

As others have pointed out, this app has not been compatible with an iPad for a while. Keeps throwing up error 3101. No way to get support from Broadcom. No apparent effort by the company to fix the error of such a critical app that controls one’s access to crucial apps.

### 1/5 — 3101 error is unfixable

*2026-02-02, version 4.2.9*

Joshk52 is 100% right.  The app does not work on the latest version of apple I-pad software. Broadcom does not answer email regarding this issue

### 1/5 — Beyond frustrating

*2026-01-22, version 4.2.9*

This app is required on an iPad if you’re trying to log into E*TRADE with two factor authentication. With a new iPad running iOS 26.2 you get an error of 3101. Deleting the app and reinstalling it multiple times does not solve the problem. The same app for an iPhone will install and seems to run OK, but the app icon disappears and turns into a black square. You need credentials to log onto the Broadcom website to get support. This unacceptable that support for this app is so poor.  Apple won’t let me give 0 stars.

### 1/5 — Recent update broke it 1/9/26

*2026-01-09, version 4.2.9*

App is broken for win11 and iPad. iPad saga to reach out to vip support email, however we have done this several times with no response

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-01-07, version 4.2.9*

Error 3101

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPads

*2026-01-07, version 4.2.9*

While it works fine on my phone it does not work on either of my iPads.

### 1/5 — Garbage, won't activate, had to use the iPhone version instead

*2025-12-05, version 4.2.9*

Broadcom, fix this buggy app. It just pops unable to activate, error 3101, obviously it's the app since the iPhone version d
gets past this setup point without the error.
Companies, stop using VIP, passkeys are here, as are standard TOTP systems.

### 1/5 — Cannot Be Registered

*2025-12-04, version 4.2.9*

Unfortunately, this app is not able to apply for a device registration as it responds with an error code 3101.  I had to try the iPhone version of this application instead.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on my iPad.

*2025-11-19, version 4.2.9*

Throws up an error message. Ugh. The phone app works here. Not sure how it will work with slide-over for the one site where I need it.
