Push notifications via the OneSpan Mobile Authenticator app

OneSpan Authentication Server supports authentication via push notifications (push and login). This authentication method uses a push mode to enable the OneSpan Mobile Authenticator app on a mobile device to authenticate the user. For detailed information about the OneSpan Mobile Authenticator app, refer to the OneSpan Mobile Authenticator and Mobile Authenticator Studio product documentation. For detailed information about the push notification solution in general, refer to the Push Notification Solution Guide, which is part of the OneSpan Authentication Server documentation suite. For detailed information about activating the OneSpan Mobile Authenticator app and to upgrading it to enable push notifications, refer to the OneSpan User Websites Administrator Guide.
