# Implement your use cases with the ForgeRock Authenticator

[Switch to the PingID mobile app now!](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingid-user-guide/secure_authentication_with_pingid/pid_end_user_guide.html)

The [PingID mobile app for Android and iOS](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingid-user-guide/secure_authentication_with_pingid/pid_end_user_guide.html) now supports one-time passcodes and push notifications from Advanced Identity Cloud and AM.

We highly recommend you switch to the PingID mobile app for your MFA needs rather than the ForgeRock Authenticator app.

Find out how to achieve some common use case scenarios using the ForgeRock Authenticator.

[Implement MFA using push notifications](use-cases/how-to-implement-mfa-using-push.html)![Mobile ForgeRock Authenticator](../_images/icons/Mobile-ForgeRock-Authenticator.png)

In this use case, you authenticate a user with MFA by setting up the ForgeRock Authenticator for push notification.

To receive push notifications when authenticating, end users must register an Android or iOS device running the ForgeRock Authenticator.

[Implement MFA using OATH one-time passwords](use-cases/how-to-implement-mfa-using-otp.html)![Mobile Password Locked](../_images/icons/Mobile-Password-Locked.png)

In this use case you configure your server to require a single-use, one-time password generated by the ForgeRock Authenticator when users authenticate.

The ForgeRock Authenticator supports time-based and HMAC-based one-time passwords.

[Secure the Authenticator app using policies](use-cases/how-to-apply-authenticator-policies.html)![Compliance Report](../_images/icons/Compliance-Report.png)

You can distribute the ForgeRock Authenticator to your users so that they can participate in multi-factor authentication journeys.

To help ensure the security of the app—​and therefore your system—​you can apply *Authenticator app policies*.

## Develop your own use case solutions

As a customer, you can use the [Ping (ForgeRock) Authenticator module](../authenticator-module/index.html) to integrate the functionality of the ForgeRock Authenticator into your own Android and iOS apps.
