It'sMe™ User Guide

The Acceptto It’sMe™ mobile app works with Acceptto’s Multi-Factor Authentication service to make logins more secure. The application generates passcodes for login and can receive push notifications for simple one-tap authentication on your mobile phone. Supported authenticators include: SMS, email, push, TOTPs, security keys (e.g. YubiKey, RFID, etc.), biometrics, security questions, FIDO authenticators, and passwords.

Pairing/ Enrollment/ Signup

Before It’sMe can be used, it must be paired with eGuardian. After installing and opening the app for the first time, you will see the pairing screen. From this screen, there are two ways to pair:

  • In Line Pairing: Your organization will provide instructions that guide you to a QR code, which will be scanned to pair the device by accessing a secure website.

  • Email Pairing: Tap the “No QR Code? Sign Up!” and enter your enterprise email to receive an email with instructions to pair. If you are on your workstation, scan the QR code within the body of the email using It’sMe.

For fast pairing on your mobile device, click on the universal link icon in the received “Pair your device” email.

Settings

A number of enterprise configurable settings are available. Below is a sample configuration:

  • Turning on “Location Trust” allows the It’sMe app to use your location in the background to generate a trust score. This score is used to improve your login authentication experience by minimizing friction.

  • The Location Trust has two modes: anonymized and real location.

  • Force Authentication: Turning on “Transaction Accept & Deny” enables in-line per transaction biometric authentication to enhance security as needed.
