Specops:ID

Specops:ID is a mobile app that lets you use your mobile device's biometrics (fingerprint, facial recognition etc.) to authenticate with Specops Authentication.

Enrolling with Specops:ID

Download the app from AppStore or Google Play Store and install it on your mobile device.
Go to the Specops Authentication Web, open the Enroll page and choose to enroll with Specops:ID.
Start the Specops:ID mobile app and click on Connect work account.
Scan the QR code that is displayed on Specops Authentication Web and authenticate using the phone's biometrics.

Note

You can also scan the QR code with your mobile phone’s camera instead of opening the app.
The Specops Authentication screen will show that you have enrolled with the Specops:ID identity service.

Authenticating with Specops:ID

After logging in with your Windows credentials, choose Specops:ID as authentication method. If you used Specops:ID to authenticate the last time you logged in, it is automatically selected.
Start the Specops:ID mobile app.
Tap Yes to authenticate.
You are logged in to your Windows account.

Specops:ID home screen

Here you can see your account name, account status, and the date of your last password change.

Tap the menu icon (...) at the top right to handle your account.
From here you can add a new account or remove the selected account.

Note

When removing a selected account, you must also remove the corresponding device for that account in Specops Authentication.

Secure Access offline codes

Whenever you sign in to a computer using Specops:ID, an offline code for that computer will also be saved in Specops:ID. Offline codes can be used to log in when a computer is offline, or if the Specops Cloud services cannot be reached for some reason.

Note

Offline codes are unique to each computer. If you have used Specops:ID to log in to multiple computers, you will have several codes to choose from. Make sure to select the code for the correct computer. The easiest way is to scan the QR code displayed on the computer, as this automatically selects the correct code in the app.

Settings

From here, you can configure theme, language, and telemetry consent. You can also view the mobile app version and debug log information.
