Identity Automation makes it easier than ever to provide an additional layer of security when signing into work and personal apps with the RapidIdentity Mobile Application. The RapidIdentity Mobile Client enables organizations to use Push and Time-based One-Time Passcode (TOTP) authentication methods in place of passwords or as a second verification step during the login process to RapidIdentity and RapidIdentity SSO enabled applications. RapidIdentity TOTP works offline and does not require any cellular or wifi connection. The RapidIdentity Mobile Client can also generate TOTP passcodes for RapidIdentity and other personal SaaS services and web applications that support mobile-generated passcodes, enabling users to consolidate other authentication tools into a single app. It supports all the same apps supported by Google Authenticator, including Gmail, LastPass, Evernote, Dropbox, Facebook, and much more. With the RapidIdentity Mobile App, you can also lock specific passcodes behind a PIN or your phone Touch ID, so even if your phone is taken, your codes are not left exposed. When an organization employs RapidIdentity Mobile Client to facilitate authentication to their environment, it is necessary to have RapidIdentity Server version 4.8.2 or later to ensure the mobile device can receive notifications from RapidIdentity Server.
