The Big News
Passwords are going away. Logging in will no longer require typing a password at all. Instead, you will approve your login with a simple tap.
What You'll Do Instead
Just tap Approve on your phone using the Octopus Authenticator app. Think of it like Face ID for your work login. One tap, and you're in.
If you were issued a security key instead of using the app, simply insert or tap that key when prompted.
No More
- No more forgotten passwords
- No more password resets
- No more typing anything in
What Stays the Same
Your username, your apps, and your daily workflow. None of that changes. If it worked before, it still works. You're just skipping the annoying part.
One Thing to Do Beforehand
Install the Octopus Authenticator app from the enrollment email you'll receive. It takes about 2 minutes. If you were issued a security key instead, that works too, no app needed.
