1. Sign on to your account or access an application that requires authentication.
    The Authenticating window appears and an authentication notification request is sent to your device.

  2. Accept the authentication notification, depending on your mobile's notification settings:
    • If your device is locked, long press the notification until it shows the option to approve or deny the request, and then tap Approve.
    • If your device is unlocked, pull down the notification until it shows the option to Approve or Deny the request, and then tap Approve.
      Note: If configured by your organization, you'll see a map on the notification screen, showing the location, device type, and browser used by the device attempting to accessing your account or app. This can help you identify a fraudulent authentication attempt.
