SAP Authenticator

SAP Authenticator is a free mobile app that generates time-based passcodes for systems requiring one-time password authentication. Each code works for one login attempt, and the app creates a new one every 30 seconds. A passcode can act as a second factor or as an alternative password. The app supports multiple accounts, which can be configured by scanning a QR code or entering a secret key. Online account setup is also available only with SAP Authenticator. For accounts set up online, administrators add applications; users cannot maintain those applications themselves. Users can save applications in the app and access them later through mobile single sign-on without another authentication step. SAP documentation describes OTP authentication and mobile SSO use with SAP Single Sign-On and SAP Fiori Client. The app runs on iOS and Android and can be protected with a password. SAP recommends protecting the app with a logon password and using two-factor authentication when the scenario allows it.
