Check out our SCA article for more legal context!

Secured mobile authentication flows

After closing the app or after 60 seconds of inactivity, you will be asked to authenticate.

Here's a recap of authentication flows to make you understand in which cases and how you can secure your account in 2 minutes!

You will be able to choose a code. This security code will be required every time you need to authenticate unless you choose another way (see below).

If the device has biometric capabilities (and if you have authorized them in the app), the biometric authentication will be prompted as soon as the screen is shown, the biometric icon will appear on bottom left (a clic on this icon will prompt the biometric authentication).

You can disable it by reinstalling the mobile app.

Secured access issues (code forgotten or account blocked)

If you forget your code, you can click on "Code forgotten" . A pop-up will appear to let you know that you will be logged out, your code reset, and that you only have to log in again to create a new security code.

- Forgotten code
 If you forget your code, you can click on "Code forgotten" . A pop-up will appear to let you know that you will be logged out, your code reset, and that you only have to log in again to create a new security code.

If you enter an invalid code 3 times in a row, your connection to the app will be blocked for 1 hour. You can't be unblocked: you will have to wait for 1 hour, and only at that moment you will be able to enter a valid code or reset the security code. Support teams will sadly not be able to assist you if this happens. If you forget your code, use the "Code forgotten?" option above to avoid being blocked.

 As long as you have not enrolled on a new device, the notifications will be sent to the older device. The recommandation in that case is to enroll on a new device as soon as possible.

How many active devices can you have?

- How many active devices can you have?

Every user can only have one active device enrolled. If you enroll a new device, then the older one will be un-enrolled. In that case, when opening the app on the older device, you will see the enrollment flow again.
