Setting Up Authenticator

When setting up Authenticator, users register one or more Delinea Platform tenants, set up biometric unlock, and enable push notifications.

Administrators manage security features—such as TOTP length and MFA frequency—in the Delinea Platform.

Registering Your First Tenant

To set up Authenticator and register a Delinea Platform tenant:

  1. Download and open Authenticator. On first launch:

    1. Tap Yes when prompted to use biometric unlock.

    2. Complete the biometric check.

      Biometric unlock is required to use Authenticator.

    3. When prompted, select Yes or No to enable push notifications.

      You can enable push notifications during initial setup when prompted, or you can modify the setting later in your device's Settings.

  2. In a browser, log in to the Delinea Platform instance.

  3. Click your user icon in the upper-right corner, and then select Account Details.

  4. Select the Applications tab.

  5. In the Authenticator app, scan the registration QR code.

    The tenant appears in the app.

Registering Additional Tenants

To register additional tenants:

  1. In the Authenticator tap the QR code button on the app's home screen.

  2. In a browser, log in to your Delinea Platform instance.

  3. Click your user icon in the upper-right corner, and then select Account Details.

  4. Select the Applications tab.

  5. In the Authenticator app, scan the registration QR code.

    The tenant appears as another card on the Authenticator startup page.

Renaming a Tenant

To change the display name used for a tenant in Authenticator:

  1. On the tenant card, tap the gear icon.

  2. Tap the arrow icon next to the tenant name.

  3. Tap the pencil icon, enter the new name, and tap Done.

Configuring Authentication Settings
