Pairing the It'sMe™ mobile app

The It’sMe™ mobile app works with Acceptto’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) service to make logins to your workstations, web, and SaaS applications frictionless and more secure. The It’sMe mobile app acts a source of telemetry as a companion device, feeding data to the risk engine. The user’s audit log dashboard displays the authentication and lifecycle management events, as well as user policy orchestration. For example, it can force biometric factor sequencing or on-demand and automatic lock out at the tap of a button.

Use the It'sMe mobile app on mobile devices like mobile phones, watches, and tablets as a smart factor for authentication. As an end user, you can accept out-of-band push notifications or scan a QR code.

Here are a few simple instructions to get you started on your passwordless mobile and web login that you can complete in less than five minutes.

  1. Download and install the Acceptto It'sMe™ mobile app for Android or iOS.

  2. Pair your mobile device using the link sent to your organization email. Or, you can send yourself a pairing email by opening the app and tapping the No QR Code? Sign Up! button.

  3. You can pair It'sMe in one of two ways:

    • QR scan to pair. Open the email on your workstation and use your mobile device to scan the QR code.

    • Mobile pairing (Magic link). Open the email on your mobile device and touch the Tap to Pair Your Device button to pair.

  4. Once you've paired your mobile device, go this link and test passwordless web login.

    You can seamlessly log in by opening the It'sMe app, tapping QR login at the bottom, and scanning the QR code. Or, by entering your email address on the web page.

  5. To experience FIDO2 WebAuthn on your tenant dashboard, you can enable it on the eGuardian Dashboard by clicking WebAuthn Credentials.

    This allows you to bind out-of-band authentication to your endpoint device with enabled biometrics, like Windows Hello and Mac Touch ID. This is a useful out-of-band (OOB) method for call centers, where phone-as-a-token and other methods like RFID, SMS, BLE are not comprehensively secure options. Your organization's security team can commission device biometrics as centralized authenticators like Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, and FIDO keys like YubiKey, Feitian, Kensington, and so on.
