Registering a Mobile Device to an account allows users to use Push and Passcode Multi-factor Authentication for logging into their EmpowerID account. If your administrator has made Mobile App Push an available MFA option in your Password Manager policy and MFA is required for your login, you will see an option to select Mobile App Push along with your other MFA options during login. The first time you select a user selects Mobile App Push, EmpowerID knows that you have not yet registered a mobile device and will show a QR code on the screen to allow registration of your phone registration. When the QR code is showing on the screen, perform the following steps below to register the device. If a user has already registered one device and wants to register additional device follow the instructions here in Register Additional Mobile Devices to add multiple device.

  • An administrator must have made Mobile App Push an available MFA option in your Password Manager policy.

You can register multiple devices for an EmpowerID account. Similarly, multiple accounts can be registered to the same device.

If your EmpowerID person already has registered a mobile phone, you will not see the QR code during login to add another. You may return to this initial state by having an admin delete your Mobile Phone MFA Asset.
