Note: This page is for developers using the PingID SDK. For information on pairing additional devices with PingID, see Managing your devices in the PingID End User Guide.
The PingID SDK component’s multifactor authentication (MFA) can authenticate users, once their devices are paired. On each login, PingID verifies the user’s device.
In order to authenticate, a user will need to pair a device for future logins. Refer to Pair first device.
The first device that a user pairs will typically be the user’s primary device, which is their default authentication device.
If a user does not want to be limited to authenticating with only one device, they may use their primary device to authorize other devices, and thus create a network of trusted devices for their authentication. Refer to Pair additional devices.
Authorized devices, other than the primary device, are referred to as trusted devices.
