NCP Authenticator does not only operate with a NCP vpn account, but also with accounts from Google, Dropbox, PayPal and all the other providers who implement authentication in this standardized way. For additional security QR codes generated by NCP’s management can enforce biometric authentication for starting NCP Authenticator.
