Arculix Mobile app user guide
Welcome to the Arculix Mobile app! The mobile app connects with the Arculix by SecureAuth multi-factor authentication (MFA) service to make logins more secure. Arculix Mobile generates login passcodes and sends you a push notification for one-tap authentication on your mobile device.
Supported authenticators include SMS, email, push, time-based one-time passcode (TOTP), security keys (like YubiKey, RFID, etc.), biometrics, security questions, FIDO authenticators, and passwords.
