External authenticator apps are a useful solution in cases such as:

  • An organization cannot allow the PingID mobile app on their devices, as PingID must be whitelisted.
  • An organization wants to use a single authenticator app and has users that must authenticate to multiple organizations.

Users can use an authenticator app to access an account or application through the web, VPN, or SSH. When authentication app authentication is enabled, users can download the authenticator app of their choice and pair it with their PingID account. Users can pair more than one authenticator app with their account.
