You can authenticate using your authenticator app, such as the Google authenticator or the Microsoft authenticator, to generate a passcode that you can use to authenticate with PingID.
- Your Apple Mac is running Mac OS v10.13 or later.
- You have paired your authenticator app.
When using your authenticator app to get a passcode:
- If you have more than one account paired with your authenticator app, make sure you select the passcode that corresponds to the account you are trying to access.
- The passcode changes approximately every 30 seconds. When prompted to authenticate, enter the most recent passcode.
- A passcode can only be used once.
-
Sign on to your Mac machine.
You'll see the Authentication window, prompting you to enter a passcode.
-
Launch your authenticator app.
The authenticator app displays a one-time passcode for your account.
Note:This example shows the Google authenticator.
-
Enter the passcode into the Authentication window, and then
click Sign On.
You'll see the green checkmark indicating authentication is successful and you are signed on to your machine.
