Salesforce Authenticator adds an extra layer of security for your online accounts with multi-factor authentication (also known as two-factor authentication). With Salesforce Authenticator, you use your mobile device to verify your identity when logging in to your account or performing critical actions. The app sends you a push notification, and you approve or deny the activity with just a tap. For even more convenience, Salesforce Authenticator can use your mobile device’s location services to automatically approve account activity that you trust. The app also provides one-time verification codes for use while you’re offline or have low connectivity. Use Salesforce Authenticator to secure all your online accounts that support time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). Any service that allows multi-factor authentication using an “Authenticator app” is compatible with Salesforce Authenticator. Location Data & Privacy If you enable location-based automation in Salesforce Authenticator, rest assured that Salesforce never tracks your location or shares it with anyone. Location data is stored securely on your mobile device, never in the cloud. You can delete all location data from your device or turn off location services at any time. Learn more about how the app uses location data in Salesforce Help. Battery Usage Rather than getting precise location updates, Salesforce Authenticator only receives updates when you enter or leave the approximate area, or “geofence,” of a location that you trust. By minimizing the frequency of location updates, Salesforce Authenticator conserves your mobile device’s battery life. To reduce battery usage even more, you can turn off location services and stop automating your activity.

Features
Read full description

Iosnola is GRI's meeting recorder for iPhone. It is provided to GRI employees and collaborators to capture in-person meetings, keep a secure audio archive in the organization's cloud, and produce transcripts — the same workflow the GRI recorder offers on macOS and Windows, now on iPhone. Iosnola requires a GRI Google Workspace account to sign in. WHAT YOU CAN DO • One-tap recording — start and stop in-person meetings instantly, with the elapsed time always visible. • Automatic transcription — get a written transcript with speaker labels, so you can read who said what. • Synced playback — tap any line in the transcript to hear that exact moment; the text highlights as the audio plays. • Your library — every recording is organized by day, ready to play back, review, or transcribe. • Secure cloud backup — recordings upload automatically to GRI's private cloud storage, even if you close the app. • Sign in with Google — secure access with your GRI account. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with your GRI Google account. 2. Tap record when your meeting starts, and stop when it ends. 3. Iosnola saves the audio and uploads it securely in the background. 4. Request a transcript and read it with speaker labels, synced to the audio. PRIVACY Your recordings are stored in GRI's private cloud under your own account — not shared externally or sold. See the privacy policy for details.
