  7. Optional: If PingID is not installed on your mobile device, scan the QR code with your camera to open the download location for your device type. If required, install the app.

  8. Optional: If the app is installed, scan the QR code or enter the Pairing Code manually.

  9. After your device has been successfully paired, you will receive an authentication request. Acknowledge this authentication request.

  10. To sign on as other users, close and reopen your incognito browser, and then return to the Initiate Single Sign-on URL from step 1.

    Result:

    If you have tested with all 3 users, you will note that both George and Lucy are permitted access to the resource. Sally, however, is denied access to the resource because she does not have a title that starts with the word "Sales".

Next steps

Congratulations! You’ve just configured and tested a multi-factor authentication experience.
