Whether accessing from the desktop [3] or the mobile device (smart phone, tablet, iPad, etc), two factor authentication is something that you own/posses (e.g. a Digi-Access™ certificate) combined with something that you know (i.e. the username and password).

Digi-Access™ relies on the web browser capabilities inside the mobile device. To enable Digi-Access™ Mobile, both the server and the mobile device must be configured separately.
The server setup requires three simple steps:

Digi-Access™ Mobile is compatible with 27 different servers [14] and most modern smart phones and tablets (contact support [15] to check your specific device), so adding the second layer of security to web access does not require any re-programming of your existing environment. It literally 'sits in front' of your current web-based system.
