Introducing the Thomson Reuters Authenticator: one app to verify your identity to access to Thomson Reuters software, providing an additional layer of security when signing in, helping you protect your data. Whether using this app to access Thomson Reuters software for work or personal use, multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection to your data, wherever your software or data are stored. The easy-to-use design makes it simple. If you’ve enabled multi-factor authentication for any of your Thomson Reuters software, logging in to that software will trigger the Authenticator app to notify you on your device. Simply press approve (or use Face ID / Touch ID) to complete the sign-on process, or press ignore if you’re not trying to access the software at the time. Software that works with Thomson Reuters Authenticator allows you to authenticate on three levels: 1) Something you KNOW (your login and password) 2) Something you HAVE (your mobile device with the Thomson Reuters Authenticator app) 3) Something you ARE (Face ID / Touch ID) Features include: • Automatic setup via QR code • Support for multiple accounts • Generate verification codes without a data connection
