# Configuring OTP push notifications

You can configure PingID to send a push notification to your users and automatically open PingID mobile app on their device, when requesting a one time passcode.

## About this task

When this option is enabled, if a user starts a flow that requires them to enter an OTP, the user no longer has to open their app and search for an OTP. PingID sends a push notification to the user's device. When the user taps the notification, PingID mobile app opens automatically and generates a new OTP.

## Steps

1. In the admin console, go to **Setup → PingID → Configuration**.

2. In the **Mobile App Authentication** section, in the **OTP Push Notifications** field, click **Enable**.
