Offline authenticator guide

This guide will walk you through how to use the Arculix Offline Authenticator feature. This feature allows a user to use a time-based one-time passcode (TOTP) for offline authentication. TOTPs act as an authentication factor to protect your accounts when your mobile device is offline and other authentication factors, like Push or SMS, are not available.
