With the advent of mobile devices, our work habits have changed. Indeed, more and more enterprise applications must be accessed through mobile platforms. Users want to access their workstations easily without having to remember several different passwords. To help them access easily their workstation(s) and enterprise applications, Evidian has created an application for mobile devices: QRentry. QRentry enables you to access your applications with your mobile device. Your applications are launched in an integrated web browser without having to sign-in. QRentry allows you to use your own mobile device to log on to Windows: - Nothing to memorize. Just flash the QR Code and QRentry will authenticate you through the network. - You have several workstations and do not want to enter a password for each of them? QRentry enables you to control your workstations and open their Windows sessions. QRentry allows you to use your own mobile device to log on to Windows until normal access is restored. In this case, QRentry is an emergency access solution extremely easy to implement and very efficient: - Nothing to memorize. QRentry will provide you with a one-time code. - Your workstation is disconnected from the network? Your mobile device does not get a signal? QRentry works anyway. You can also use QRentry to store personal data: Wi-Fi keys, license number, private passwords... QRentry securely stores them in your own mobile device. Note: QRentry only works with Evidian Authentication Manager and Evidian SSO Web Portal. Please, don't install or post a comment about this application if you don't have one of these products installed. For more information about Evidian, visit http://www.evidian.com/iam/qrentry.

The complete Python documentation is also available for offline reading in the app. Pythonista is not just for learning and practicing Python – it's also a powerful tool for automating iOS with multiple app extensions. You can invoke scripts directly from the share sheet or a custom system keyboard in almost any app, and integrate scripts with Shortcuts and Siri.
